Many of you may be wondering what it is we do. Here are some of our primary goals:
1. Engage the community in a dialogue about healthy eating (HE) and active living (AL) policy, and what it means to you
2. Promote HE and AL policy and environmental change in the City of Buffalo
3. Work with the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board for AL matters
4. Conduct a citywide assessment of policy conditions, physical and environmental landscape, and organizational capacity with respect to HE and AL - what does Buffalo look like right now? What are our assets? What are we missing?
5. Support the development of a Food Policy Council
6. Determine additional needs of HE and AL community in Buffalo
Now is the time to get involved! Contact Jessie at jhersher@bnmc.org to learn more.
