Mobilizing Families: Lunch and Learning
Health Equity/Maternal and Child Health/Food Systems
U.S. National, Michigan
(1) Deep poverty and food insecurity affects 32% of residents and low-income families with children under age 5, pregnant women, and expectant families who rely directly on emergency public assistance.
(2) Distance to grocery stories, food and basic supplies affect 30% of neighborhood "food swamps": oversaturated with fast food and convenience stores, without full-service grocery stores. Transportation and infrastructure programs are highly critical: 34% of Detroit residents do not own a personal vehicle, severely limiting their physical access to regional food hubs.
(3) Nutrition impacts cognition and socio-emotional interactions during a child’s first five years. Blood sugar crashes, mood imbalances from malnutrition and overweight, diabetes, depression, and anxiety are risk factors to wellness.
We will support 400 families with nutritious meals: breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner, and infant formula. 52 weekly peer to peer sessions with local families who become the expert leading health education with mobile food trucks to mix, mingle, learn, gather, for long lasting buddy systems.
Possible partnerships (will be requested) [local community center], community space at [local community center] or mobile food truck from [local community center] at agreed upon settings: libraries, faith based centers, and schools.
Past partnerships have benefited early childhood families: Head Start and private pay schools to learn how to increase health literacy and health seeking behavior of parents of young children.
