Health & Wellness Program

The FitPick® program recognizes the importance of functional foods,
acknowledging that snacks are often equivalent to meals.

VendVue is revolutionizing workplace vending across Frackville and the surrounding coal region by dedicating ourselves to comprehensively understanding our clients’ wellness goals and needs. In a community where blue-collar workers, healthcare employees, and retail staff form the backbone of the local economy—from the Route 61 commercial strip to the North Lehigh Avenue business district—we recognize that traditional vending machines often stock items like candy bars, chips, and soft drinks that don’t align with workers’ evolving health priorities. There’s a rising demand for healthier options among Frackville’s workforce, particularly among those in healthcare services and manufacturing who are increasingly conscious of their nutrition during shifts. This shift towards health consciousness among consumers and organizations has inspired us to offer tailored solutions specifically suited to the Schuylkill County working environment. We’re delighted to collaborate with our clients through the personalized Fit Pick® program, catering to their wellness requirements with a variety of healthy alternatives that understand the unique needs of Frackville’s traditional, cash-conscious communities.

Here are the Top Ten Smart Snacking Tips to keep you energized and satisfied all day:

  1. Regular Snacking: In Frackville’s bustling healthcare facilities and manufacturing plants along the North Lehigh Avenue business district, workers maintain demanding schedules that benefit from steady energy throughout the day—refuel your body with snacks several times to stay energized and productive.
  2. Fiber and Protein Focus: The region’s blue-collar workforce knows that lasting energy matters; opt for cereal or granola bars with protein and fiber for the kind of sustained fullness that carries you through a full shift at the warehouse or retail counter.
  3. Healthy Crunch: Whether you’re stopping by a Route 61 convenience stop, a local diner in Downtown Frackville, or grabbing a quick break on South Lehigh Avenue, satisfy mid-day cravings with low-fat, low-calorie options like pretzels or baked chips.
  4. Nutrient-Rich Choices: The working families of Frackville and surrounding coal country communities increasingly seek convenient, nutritious grab-and-go options; choose pre-packaged fruits, vegetables, and salads for their high nutritional value and great taste without sacrificing your busy day.
  5. Protein and Calcium: Healthcare workers and transportation employees crossing through the Bunting Park area and beyond recognize the value of quick protein sources; grab low-fat milk or yogurt for a healthy boost between tasks.
  6. Moderate Sweet Treats: Living in Frackville’s traditional, close-knit community means enjoying the local hospitality and comfort food culture—enjoy sweet treats in moderation without completely cutting them out.
  7. Smart Cookie Alternatives: Animal crackers, fig bars, pop tarts, or graham crackers are lower-fat cookie options that fit Frackville’s practical, no-nonsense approach to eating well; pair them with low-fat milk for added protein.
  8. Nuts for Nuts: Pick a pack of peanuts, almonds, or your favorite nuts—a staple snack choice across Frackville’s manufacturing and warehousing operations—for a blend of protein and fiber that sustains you.
  9. Stay Hydrated: In the demanding climate of the region’s industrial and retail environments, sometimes thirst is mistaken for hunger; keep water close at hand throughout your day.
  10. Balanced Snacking: Remember, variety, balance, and moderation are key to smart snacking, whether you’re working in West Frackville, the Oak Hill area, or passing through on Route 61.
