Community Change

A volunteer weeds the hoop house at the R&E Center in Powell. The healthy choice should be the easy choice – for ALL families. Statewide, the Cent$ible Nutrition Program is seeking out new opportunities to promote policy, system, and environmental changes in the community. We hope these changes will increase access to healthy foods and physical activity for everyone. You can find out more about CNP’s community projects around the state on the CNP Community Engagement & Outreach page.

This summer, Debbie worked with the Powell Research & Extension Center to grow vegetables in a hoop house. The fresh produce is being donated to food pantries in both Powell and Cody. You can read more here.

If you would like to partner with CNP for healthy community change in Park County, contact Debbie!
