Making a Difference

Healthy Communities

The UC CalFresh Youth Nutrition Education Program works through schools and other local institutions to teach kids good food habits and decision-making skills.

Every year, over 10,000 students in Fresno County receive nutrition education thanks to hundreds of educators who are dedicated to encouraging children to eat healthy and stay physically active.

Together, we're turning the tide on childhood obesity!
