“OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Community Action Marins Food Services program serves over 700 children every day. Each day the kitchen prepares a lunch that is delivered hot to the various Community Action Marin Head Start, Early Head Start and Child Development Program classrooms. With obesity and diabetes becoming a national health epidemic, introducing healthy foods at an early age can have a long term positive impact on health. For some of the children, these are the most nutritious meals they will eat all day. These daily meals help to improve nutritional well-being, thus supporting their physical, intellectual and emotional growth. At some sites children participate in growing fruits and vegetables. This outdoor education is integrated into the classroom curriculum, and the fruits and vegetables grown by the children supplement the meals prepared by the kitchen.
