Strong, healthy communities start with engaged citizens. Getting involved creates the opportunity to live healthy lives, including access to fresh, affordable food, nice parks, safe streets, good jobs and transportation to get there. Healthy choices may seem like easy choices, but they aren’t a given in every community. Decisions about investing in our communities are made by board members and elected officials on the school board and city council and in the state legislature. Do you know them? Do they know you? They should! After all, YOU know what your community needs!
Get involved at the grassroots level in what happens in and to your community. It feels great to participate, and you’ll be helping improve the well-being of all who live there. So step up. Raise your hand!
