The WCP does not embrace just one solution or strategy. It brings together the collective experience of community members to support existing and new initiatives that foster healthy children and families in our community. Childhood overweight and obesity is an increasing concern for our community -locally and nationally- especially because both can lead to long-term health problems, poor body image, and low self-esteem. By supporting our children in healthy eating and active play, we promote positive development for all. It will take our whole, diverse community to make a difference. The WCP aims to be a place of dialogue and action for all the communities that make up Tompkins County. By drawing on our collective knowledge and strengths, we hope to promote healthy food and activity environments for all our children and youth. We need you!
