ABOUT THE FOOD & COMMUNITY PROGRAM
Our Food & Fitness collaborative is part of a new program at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation called Food & Community. Building on past investments of nearly $80 million, the Kellogg Foundation has committed another $32.5 million to create healthier kids and communities over the next three years. Our Partnership is honored to be a part of the new W.K. Kellogg Foundation Food & Community Program.
Food & Community focuses on creating healthy places where all children thrive. Through this program, the Kellogg Foundation will invest in efforts to increase access to good food and opportunities for physical activity.
WHY THIS WORK IS IMPORTANT
This work is still vital for our community. We have worked hard to understand what we need to do to propel our children and our community to greater heights. Too often, children and families lack access to good, affordable food and safe, accessible spaces in which to play and be active. This is unacceptable. With our new grant, we will put our plans in motion to tackle such in equities.
GOING FORWARD
We will continue to address affordability and access to healthy, locally grown food and opportunities for physical activity and play. We will also continue to advance policy and systems change efforts that confront structural inequities head on, and reach the most vulnerable among us.
We will be updating the website www.nycfoodandfitness.org, to reflect current information, news and updates, as they become available. |
