IMPACT IN NUMBERS

Our Impact Starts Now

Louisiana ranks among the highest states for obesity and other health-related illnesses. Eating in Louisiana is a cultural adventure and we gather together around the food we love. The health of our citizens depends on the ability for Louisianans to have access to resources and options that empower them to lead a healthy lifestyle. “Living well doesn’t have to be painful or the result of drastic changes. You can still do the things you love while infusing wellness into your lifestyle,” encourages Molly.
