Through this initiative, we are breaking new ground, impacting the food environment, engaging consumers and improving the health and well-being of employees and families. The community engagement program is inspiring families in underserved communities to make healthy food choices part of their everyday lives. So far we have engaged nearly 300 community organizations in 50 cities across the U.S. The nutrition and cooking education experiences help families learn how to choose and prepare the healthy food they need. Through open dialogue with these community organizations we continue to evaluate and refine each element of the program. Access the educational experiences and additional available resources.
