 "Nutrition on the Go!
This Program has grown to 19 communities within Tulare and Kings Counties. At these events that are best described as mini Farmers Market/Health Fair/Carnival like atmosphere, FoodLink is serving between 200 and 500 families per site, twice a month in some sites. Kicking off 2009 we served over 5,500 families with fresh produce and nutrition education. We have additional services provided by several other agencies. FoodLink continues to partner with community agencies to add more value to our events. Many families come to these sites, not only because of the need but for the positive experience and support provided to help get their families on the road to a healthier lifestyle.
