Create nationwide after-school/work evening meal program at after-school programs; eat healthier, earlier in evening and eradicate American obesity epidemic
Idea Description
Currently forming a collaborative organization of health professionals, educators, parents, public health officials, businesses, commuity organizations, and others. We are in the planning stages of creating a system to create environmental and policy changes to deal with the root causes of the obesity epidemic. One of the main initiatives is to help after-school programs establish evening meal programs so that families can eat earlier in the evening. Eating earlier has been proven as one effective way of managing weight.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
Establish an official 501(c)3 non-profit organization and begin to apply for grants, as we do not currently qualify for some grants without tax-exempt status.
