Healthy Lifestyle
Our Living A Healthy Lifestyle program provides services for families in need. Nutrition workshops are offered for the families of the bronx. These workshops educate the families on how to create healthy habits, make wise food choices, and budgeting their financial to allow them to purchase healthy foods rather than quick and easy unhealthy foods. Families who participate in the workshops are given health bucks. Health bucks are $2 vouchers distributed by the NYC Health Department that can be used to purchase FREE fresh fruits and vegetables at designated NYC Farmers’ Markets. Families and Nino de la Caridad, INC staff get together to walk to the neighboring Farmers Markets which include; Poe Park, Farmers Market in Fordham Plaza, and Farmers Market in the Bronx Botanical Garden. Through this
program our participants are encouraged to make healthy food choices, exercise walks to the farmers’ markets, learn how to make more health conscious food choices, and how to take initiative and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Living a healthy lifestyle is offered annually July to November.
