Welcome!!

Our FunderThis material was produced by the California Department of Public Health’s Network for a Healthy California with

funding from USDA SNAP, known in California as CalFresh (formerly Food Stamps). These institutions are

equal opportunity providers and employers. CalFresh provides assistance to low-income households and can help buy nutritious foods for better health. For CalFresh information, call 1-877-847-3663. For important nutrition

information, visit www.cachampionsforchange.net.

Network Goals

1. Eat more fruits and vegetables.

2. Increase Physical Activity.

3. Decrease sugary beverages and increase healthy

beverage consumption, mainly water.

A Message from our Project Director Roberta Acantilado

The State of the Network for a Healthy California—LAUSD

• A little background - – The source of Network funding all starts at the Federal level

with the Farm Bill – The Farm Bill’s Food and Nutrition Service funds the

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and SNAP-Ed Program which provide benefits and nutrition education to low-income households

– Two-thirds of the Farm Bill is spent on nutrition including food stamps which are known as CalFresh in California

– Currently about 1 in 7 Americans buy food using food stamps– At least half of the student population must qualify for

CalFresh for a school to participate in the Network

A Message from our Project Director Roberta Acantilado

Changes to SNAP-Ed funding distribution –

The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act enacted in December of 2010 significantly increased the role of Local Health Departments (LHD) in nutrition and obesity prevention by placing greater emphasis on educating parents and improving community environments.

Beginning in October of 2013 LHDs will take the lead

in obesity prevention. Funding will be based on population needs meaning that LHDs in areas with a large number of low-income families will receive more funding and will subcontract out some services to school districts and community organizations.

A Message from our Project Director Roberta Acantilado

Changes to SNAP-Ed funding distribution cont. –

Network staff is waiting to receive grant guidelines

from the State sometime in 2013, but for 2013-2014 and beyond the LAUSD Network anticipates receiving only a small portion of the funding seen in previous years which will greatly reduce staffing.

The energy of Network staff during this 2012-2013 school year is focused on developing partnerships and training methods that will sustain the program by having schools access resources directly from providers. This year Network trainings will utilize the computer or occur as large events in regional areas.

A Message from our Project Director Roberta Acantilado

The future is really about empowerment and sustainability at school sites –

• the school family determining the needs of the community • finding the School Wellness Policy, sharing it openly, and

using it as a guide, updating it if necessary• parents, students and school staff members reaching out to

businesses, local and religious organizations to establish relationships that benefit the community

• learning about resources that already exist in the community surrounding the school

• identifying how those resources fit into the SMART Goals

A Message from our Project Director Roberta Acantilado

The future is really about empowerment and sustainability at school sites, cont. –

• teaching parents and students to identify what they need to make their community a healthier place to live

• teaching parents and students how to use a united voice to communicate their needs to elected officials

• working together to create a healthier living environment with safe places to play and sources of fresh, nutritious food

• getting the word out to those in need about the availability of healthy food

A Message from our Project Director Roberta Acantilado

The bottom line –The Network is in a state of change. We will communicate with you by email. The website will be updated often. Our training plan is still in development. We will be providing trainings online. We are not scheduling face-to-face trainings at this time. We ask for your patience and understanding as we navigate through uncharted waters.

Regardless of the changes, the three core Network goals remain

the same - we all need to eat more fruits and vegetables, increase physical activity, and decrease sugary beverages and increase healthy beverage consumption, mainly water.

Your dedication and caring are commendable and are evident in your willingness to do “one more thing.” Thank you for your time and energy. It is an honor to serve you.

Roberta P.S. - Calendars???? Be on the lookout; they will arrive soon.
