2014 is off to a great start! We would like to thank everyone who donated to Healthy Waltham during our annual appeal. This was a first for us since we became a newly registered 501c3 non-profit only last summer. Tax-deductible donations can be made on our website through Paypal or via check. Thank you again, we couldn't do what we do without the support of the Waltham community!

Our work with the Waltham Family School is one of our favorite collaborations. The Family School offers a program designed to help immigrant parents and their young pre-school aged children adjust and thrive in our community as they get ready for their children to enter the Waltham Public Schools. Healthy Waltham has been distributing local produce at the annual Family School Thanksgiving Feast for the past 5 years as part of our Healthy Eating Unit at the school. The produce was donated by the Waltham Fields Community Farm, another frequent collaborator. Read about this in our latest column by Maria DiMaggio and Britta McNemar in the Waltham News Tribune here. The Waltham Family School is also on Facebook here.
