Why is vending machine revenue important to schools?
Public schools with budget shortfalls often seek to use money from vending machines to fill the gaps. Making It Happen! shows that schools and school districts can make money selling healthful items if they make them available, market them well, and make the changes with a positive attitude. Of the 17 schools and school districts that reported sales data, 12 increased their revenue as a result of the changes, and four reported no change.
