About Us

We work on projects that support healthy eating, active living, and access to healthier choices for people with lower incomes. We also help change policies, systems, and environments (PSE) so it's easier for everyone to live a long, happy life.

Our Projects & Partnerships

Children sitting at table

Children's Council Healthy Apple

We work with Children's Council to help early childcare providers offer healthy food and drinks, keep kids active, and limit screen time. The free program includes a checklist, goal-setting, and coaching. It’s a fun, easy way to help little ones grow strong and healthy! Read more about the Healthy Apple Program

Community Gardens

We support community gardens at Rec and Park sites across San Francisco by offering tools, tips, and fun activities to help people grow their own food. We listen to what the community needs and share healthy recipes, cooking ideas, and lessons to make the most of what’s grown. Together, we help families, kids, and neighbors learn, grow, and eat well.

Preparing food

Countywide Health Campaign

We celebrate National Nutrition Month with fun and healthy activities at parks, schools, child care centers, and senior sites across San Francisco. Events include tasty food demos, flavored water stations, exercise games, and easy lessons about eating well. Our goal is to make it easier for everyone—kids, families, and older adults—to choose healthy habits every day.

Let's Walk

A free walking program that helps people with lower incomes get active and feel their best. Using a simple walking app, we team up with the community to ensure everyone feels welcome and supported. This program is made possible through partnerships with the San Francisco Giants, the California Department of Public Health, and local nonprofits like SF Civic Tech. Read more about Let's Walk

San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD)

We teach Pick a Better Snack lessons to help kids learn about healthy eating, try new foods, and stay active. Our lessons include fun taste tests, food demos, and flavored water. We also check in with kids through simple surveys to see how their eating and activity habits are changing.

SPARK Wellness Policy

Snacks, Play, and Recreation for Kids (SPARK) policy helps kids eat healthier and play more at summer camps and after-school programs in San Francisco Rec and Park sites. We create and roll out fun activities in four areas: Healthy Snacks, Joyful Play, Water First, and Healthy Parties and Prizes.
