This proposal outlines a partnership between the Community Health Foundation and the Healthy Families Initiative to address the rising rates of childhood obesity in underserved communities in Cityville. By combining resources, expertise, and outreach capabilities, both organizations aim to deliver a comprehensive health education program to children and families, focusing on nutrition, physical activity, and long-term health habits. The program will target 1,000 children in local schools and their families, offering workshops, fitness activities, and educational resources.
The purpose of this partnership is to combat childhood obesity in Cityville by providing education and resources to children and families, enabling them to adopt healthier lifestyles. The collaboration will leverage the strengths of both organizations: Community Health Foundation’s experience in community-based health initiatives and Healthy Families Initiative’s expertise in childhood nutrition and physical activity programs.
