Our Mission

Healthy Families - Healthy Futures is dedicated to empowering teachers, school staff, and families of young children to embrace healthy eating habits by equipping them with the tools and educated support system they need to make healthy food choices.

Our Story

Eating habits are learned behaviors; they are not intuitive. What children learn to eat at home early in life will stick with them well into adulthood. Involving the whole family is the best way to promote better eating habits and healthy activities for your kids. Healthy Families – Healthy Futures was established to empower and support families, schools, and childcare centers with the knowledge and skills to make healthy food and beverage choices. Providing opportunities for nutrition education in schools, childcare centers, and in the family home is a vital part of uplifting the health of those that participate in the program. Healthy Families – Healthy Futures strives to promote a healthy future, one nutritious meal at a time.
