Let’s Move!

January 4, 2011 by Willona Stallings, Former Program Coordinator – Partners in Health & Wholeness

On November 29, 2010, First Lady Michelle Obama and the White House Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships met with people of faith from across the country to discuss the elimination of childhood obesity.  The White House is challenging churches and other places of worship to get involved by promoting physical activity and healthy eating in a variety of ways – e.g., hosting community gardens, farmers’ markets and summer feeding programs. For additional tips and ideas, please download the Let’s Move Toolkit for Faith-based and Neighborhood Organizations and share it with other members of your congregation today!

About Willona Stallings, Former Program Coordinator – Partners in Health & Wholeness

Partners in Health and Wholeness (PHW) connects congregations with existing resources in the community and provides them with the tools necessary (sometimes in the form of mini-grants) to implement healthier practices, policies and programs. I live in Raleigh and enjoy good food, area greenways and bargain shopping.
