This project is funded under the Foundation's program, Healthy Kids, Healthy Communities, which was designed to implement systems, policies and environmental strategies with potential to prevent childhood obesity in populations at greatest risk. The purpose of the project is to perform assessments in target neighborhoods through Photovoice and walkability tools, focusing on infrastructure changes in the built environment to promote active living and increasing access to healthy foods through a corner store and food systems strategy. Deliverables include performing assessments and establishing benchmarks, advancing changes in the physical environment that support physical activity and healthy eating, expanding access to and distribution of healthy food and coordinating and disseminating information about healthy eating/physical activity opportunities and environmental/policy strategies.
