Summary:
|
Staff is seeking the approval of the application which will provide continued funding of the Nutrition Education Obesity Prevention Program (NEOP) grant through September 30, 2023 with Contra Costa Health Services. This grant provides nutrition education and physical activity promotion in the Mt. Diablo CARES After School Programs. Five CARES After School Programs (Cambridge, Meadow Homes, El Monte, Sun Terrace Elementary, and Riverview Middle) will participate in the Nutrition and Physical Promotion Project of Contra Costa Health Services.
Mt. Diablo CARES After School Program will continue to provide comprehensive nutrition education (i.e. cooking, nutrition, Harvest of the Month, Rethink Your Drink); increased access to physical activity (i.e. participation in Coordinated Approach to Child Health (CATCH) and SPARK curriculum as well as state approved nutrition materials). This hands on nutrition and physical activity education promotes positive nutritional lifestyle changes for students, parents and community and serve as a foundation for implementing policy, system and environmental (PSE) changes (i.e. Pop Up Health, Healthy beverage Messaging Campaign and Wellness Marketing). CARES will host community events to promote onsite gardens and nutrition education, as well as partner with the school district’s food service department to ensure policy changes reach larger populations.
Grant funds will pay for a portion of after school staff, evaluation, supplies and materials. Through this grant, participating after school students receive at a minimum seven hours of nutrition education and physical activity promotion each week. The NEOP grant will continue to provide valuable and essential resources to district students to support, develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Mt. Diablo CARES is requesting $60,000 to implement the Nutrition and Physical Promotion Project.
