May 2, 2015-Champions for Change & Fresno Community Market hosted their annual Fruit and Veggie Fest in downtown Fresno. They put together healthy food demonstrations, free health screenings, fun activities for kids, raffle prizes and a ribbon cutting of the smarter snacking station at a local retail store. This is an annual event that occurs throughout the entire state through the department of Public Health.
This year UC Cooperative Extension of Fresno partnered and helped distribute a coloring contest through Lowell Elementary. Nutrition Program Coordinator, Maira Enriquez, distributed coloring contest fliers and had over 80 student participants. Five winners were chosen from each grade level, ranging from preschool to fifth grade.
Partnerships such as this support healthier communities in Fresno County!
