Communities Putting Prevention to Work

 Through funding from the Department of Health and Human Services and sponsored by Communities Putting Prevention to Work-Hawai'i – improving healthy eating and healthy activities, creating jobs, and promoting sustainability on the islands of Kaua'i and Maui, NPAC will increase the consumption of local agricultural products via cooking demonstrations and expansion of the Y Produce Express, work toward the completion of the North Shore Greenway, expand Kaho'omiki's Fun5 program so that after-school staff from elementary schools in all of Maui County receive training and materials to implement the physical activity and nutrition program. Our "Cooking with Kumu" and "Cooking with Maui Celebrity Chefs" series will offer education about the spiritual and cultural importance of the foods we eat. Favorite recipes will be modified to make them healthier, and samplings will be offered.
