Let's Get Movin'

 

The Nutrition Education component of the Let's Get Movin' program includes educating children and their parents about making good food choices for the development of a healthy lifestyle.

Our educational approach centers on teaching families the essentials of nutrition in a way that is fun and culturally relevant. We also offer cooking classes and parent seminars.

Food acquisition is an essential part of our strategy. In order to improve local access to healthy fruits and vegetables, Let’s Get Movin’ brought a farmers’ market to East Boston. We also successfully arranged for the purchase and distribution of farm shares in order to serve the need for fresh produce.

The Let’s Get Movin’ Cookbook
Published in January 2009, the Let’s Get Movin’ Cookbook offers culturally appropriate, healthy recipes for kids and their families in English and Spanish. The cookbook was professionally designed and produced. We’re proud to be able to offer this fun and practical resource to our community. Selected recipes from the cookbook are already in use in the Let’s Get Movin’ program. The cookbook is our gift to program members after reaching participation milestones.
