The Eat Well Play Hard Coalition (EWPH) assists schools and community venues to make physical activity and healthy eating an easy choice for families through policy and environmental change.
The EWPH Coalition helps fund projects that result in environmental and/or policy change so that the results may be sustainable rather than one time events. EWPH funds projects targeting children ages two through twelve that incorporate one of the following strategies:
1. Increase age appropriate physical activity
2. Increase consumption of fruits and vegetables
3. Increase consumption of 1% or less milk and low fat dairy products.
Since 2007 EWPH has awarded over $17,000 in mini grants to support healthy eating and physical activity for children of the North Country.
