Healthy Solutions in the Community

Derrick Teaching youth about Herb Gardens

Since Healthy Solutions is a National Organization, our programs and services may look different in each location, but all have the same goals and mission in mind. Healthy Solutions has programs and services in DC, AL, NC, PA, CA.

 

In order to help our community members, who have suffered from the lack of healthy food options, we practice education and outreach through our Communty Capacity Trainings, and hands on community programing. This provides our community members with knowledge of where their food comes from, how to source it, and each step to changing their eating habits to help decrease negative health outcomes.

 

Some ways we do this:

 

Classes

Working groups

Food Demos

Markets

Co-ops

Taste Tests

School and Community Events

 

 

Classes and Information include:

 

- Creating your own food system 

- Why Fresh Fruits and Vegetables are important

- The Effects of Healthy Foods on your body and Wallet

- Why Organic

- Supporting local farmers and communities at the same time

- Urban Agriculture

- How to build your own garden

- What foods are grown in your back yard

- Supply Chains and What you need to know

- Eat, Drink, Health

---- and many more

 

Our goal is to give our community members the tools to make informed decisions.
