Engaging North Fair Oaks Community to Promote Healthy Retail Efforts
We are partnering with Siena Youth Center for a pilot program to explore ways to engage retail stores, youth and community members in North Fair Oaks to promote healthy beverages and foods. If you have ideas to share or would like to assist in planning this pilot program, or a healthy retail program for your community, please contact Sonali Suratkar, ssuratkar@smcgov.org. CalFresh Healthy Living Healthy Retail Program supports small retail stores in low-income neighborhoods with technical assistance, health promotional materials, signage and equipment (as needed) to highlight and increase the sale of healthy food choices to their communities. Participating stores have successfully implemented this program and have found it beneficial to support their community members.
