HKHC Video Louisville KY Part 3

 

Healthy Kids, Healthy Communities: Special video series tracks progress in Central Valley, Calif., Chicago and Louisville, Ky.

Nearly three years ago, three community action partnerships embarked on ambitious efforts to increase families’ access to healthy foods and safe places for children to be physically active. This video series tracks the challenges community activists faced and the milestones they reached as they pushed for local policy changes. The latest trio of videos wraps up a three-part series and showcases early achievements from each community. 

In Louisville, teenagers convinced a convenience store owner to take down signs marketing alcohol, and to sell fresh fruits and vegetables instead of junk food.
