Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Veggies all the way!
Oh what fun it is to eat
Five food groups every day—hey!

We had ❄️snow❄️ much teaching nutrition lessons over the past several weeks to the 5th grade classes at Benjamin Franklin Elementary! We are very thankful to be welcomed into their classrooms and to spend time with their bright students and jolly team members!

There is so much that the Coordinated Health Program’s Team is thankful this year.

Because of the incredible generosity of this community, 245 families will be able to sit around a table together and share a full holiday meal. We raised over $9,000 in just one week, a true testament to the heart of the Wabash Valley.

The Coordinated Health Program’s mission is to support children and their families so our community can be healthier, stronger, and more connected. Food security is a core priority for us, and sadly, far too many of our neighbors are facing hunger this year.

But this project reminded us of something powerful: when our community comes together, we can meet those needs with compassion and hope. 🧡🧡🧡🧡

This effort took a village and what a village it is. We are overflowing with gratitude for everyone who helped bring this initiative to life:

🦃 100 generous donors and a special shout-out to Common Ground Yoga for matching donations from their clients.

🦃Baesler's Market, our incredible partner, for curating robust meal boxes at such a low cost that we could stretch our dollars even further. They also opened their facilities for packing and provided transportation for delivery.

🦃Manna from Seven provided their massive box truck and time to deliver the meals in one efficent, drop off route.

🦃Our amazing box-stuffing volunteers, who gave up their Sunday afternoon to prepare the boxes with so much care.

🦃Union Health Foundation, for providing a secure, seamless donation platform and managing funds to ensure every dollar made an impact.

Thank you, Wabash Valley.

Your generosity filled tables and hearts this Thanksgiving. 🧡
