The investigator proposes an evaluation of a randomized, sustainable intervention in 8 intervention and 8 control pantries.

We will also enroll a sample of clients at follow-up to assess to assess the nutritional quality of food selected at the pantry.
The investigators propose an efficacy study (i.e., do salad bars work under controlled conditions in naturalistic settings) to test whether introducing salad bars in elementary, middle, and high schools that have never had salad bars affects students' FV consumption and waste during lunch. A cluster randomized controlled trial will test new salad bars against controls for 6 wks, with/without an additional 4-wk marketing phase .
