Growing Healthy Kids
Fit4Kids is excited to announce our 2024-2027 strategic plan and Growing Healthy Kids campaign
Growing Healthy Kids aims to raise $1.2 million to support ambitious goals in program expansion, enhancing community collaboration and impact, and bolstering organizational health.
Key Growing Healthy Kids Goals...
- Add new Fit4Kids programs to reach early childhood through college-aged youth, addressing the full spectrum of developmental stages
- Quadruple the Learning Garden program so EVERY Title I school in Fit4Kids’ service area has access to school garden programming promoting hands-on nutrition education and fostering a deeper connection with food
- Place a crossing guard at every busy corner near a Richmond Public School so children can safely walk, scooter, or bike to school
- Amplify community voices in health and wellness advocacy and expand access to free healthy meals and hydration in schools, vital for students overall health; academic performance, attendance, and school readiness; and reduced stigma and bias
