Our Community
- Does your neighborhood grocery store sell good quality, low-cost fruits and vegetables?
- Do you have a community garden?
- Is your neighborhood safe (well lit, low crime, etc.)?
- Do you have bike lanes and walking paths?
- Can you use the gym, playground, and sports fields at your local school after-hours?
If you answered "no" to any of these questions, then your neighborhood is ready for some good changes.
Why speak up for healthy changes?
- Every neighborhood deserves to have clean, safe places where good quality, low-cost fruits and vegetables are easy to get.
- Every neighborhood deserves to be clean with safe places to enjoy fun physical activities.
- And you, your family, and your neighbors can help make these healthy changes happen.
