(WXYZ) — Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan announced it will be donating salad bars to Michigan schools.

Seventeen schools will get salad bars through a partnership between BCBSM and the United Start Foundation.

BCBSM says that since 2015, it has supported 91 salad bars in Michigan schools through the national Salad Bars to Schools initiative in order to empower Michigan students to make healthier choice by increasing access to fresh fruits and vegetables.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at Mound Park Elementary School in Warren to celebrate the new salad bars.
