BOISE, Idaho — Nextgen Vending has announced the rollout of its Earthpure Organic Nutrition for Education vending program for schools.
According to a news release, the program, commonly referred to Earthpure ONE, includes vending kiosks combined with after-school programs that focus on nutrition, fitness, environmental awareness, business/financial education and personal growth.
The kiosks carry organic beverages and snacks.
"We are promoting the use of 'green' debit cards for students as a component of the financial/ecological after-school program," said Paul Frantellizzi, founding partner of Nextgen Vending. "These vending cards will be managed by students and monitored by parents in an effort to teach healthy spending habits, fiscal responsibility and the wisdom of supporting alternative energy sources."
