Our Mission

Family Meals in Minutes

Providing quick, healthy and cost-effective meals is the ultimate challenge for harried parents. Kids who eat regular sit-down dinners with their family take in more fruits and vegetables, and scarf down fewer fried foods and soft drinks when they're away from home. They also benefit from higher self-esteem, school performance and development. FMIM works with a transitional living community to help busy families integrate healthy food, cooking and eating into their lives through conducting cooking/nutrition workshops for young parents.

Kids Unplugged

Childhood obesity is becoming an alarming problem in our communities. Excess TV watching and computer time is a contributing factor to this problem. As the name suggests, Kids Unplugged focuses on creating fun and healthy alternatives for children to sitting in front of the TV or computer during free time. The project will work with youth ages 8-12 at a local YMCA after-school program to offer healthy eating and fun physical activity options.

Growing Healthy Students

Studies show that healthy eating and daily physical activity have a profound overall impact on the body and mind. GHS focuses on inspiring healthy eating by implementing a family nutrition and health pilot program curriculum that includes a Spring/Fall harvest event, monthly nutrition/cooking workshops and activities geared toward mobilizing families to promote healthy eating.

Kids in the Kitchen

The Junior Leagues' KITK program addresses the growing issues of childhood obesity and poor nutrition. Since the early 1970's, the number of overweight children ages 12-19 in the United States has doubled, and the number of overweight children ages 6-11 has tripled. This project is a League-wide event across four countries that collaborates with the community to raise awareness and help communities address the urgent issues surrounding childhood obesity and poor nutrition.

Run For Your Life!

Run For Your Life is a health and character education program serving girls ages 8-11. While training for a 5K running event, participants are taught about self-respect and healthy lifestyles with the goal of reducing the potential display of at-risk activities among our youth. The goals of the programs are to encourage positive emotional, social, mental, spiritual and physical development.

With more than 2,500 troops, Girl Scouts, San Diego-Imperial Council is one of the largest U.S. Girl Scout councils.

The backpacks contain supplies to help them read with their families at home, math games, writing tools and a DVD with tips on how to stay on track and study as a family. This year, we will be adding items to the backpacks that will promote healthy eating and living to the families.
