Healthy Food Healthy Mood Program
What is it?
Healthy Food, Healthy Mood is a program designed to encourage healthy eating habits for children and strengthen family relationships. Beginning in November, your children will receive a tracking checklist. Over the course of 20 weeks, your children will have 20 opportunities to participate in the program. The children can fill out their checklist by participating in tasks such as cleaning the kitchen, chopping vegetables, or trying new foods. As your child makes progress on their tracking calendar, they will make progress towards receiving a reward.
How to earn rewards?
After participating in the program for 5 weeks, children will receive a $25 gift card. After 15 total weeks of participation, they will receive a $75 gift card. After earning their reward, the children get to decide what to spend the gift card on! They could be used to pay for family outings at places like Lake Superior Zoo, Sky Zone, or Vista Fleet cruises. The children might also decide to use their reward to pay for lessons or activities such as dance, music, or karate. They can also go to a child's wants (toys, games, or books) or needs (winter coats, shoes, or clothing).
How to report Participation
Tracking progress and receiving rewards will be done by completing a Google Form at the five--, ten-, and fifteen-week mark. You or your child will need to submit a photo of the tracking checklist in addition to some action photos of them helping to cook,eat, or clean up a Food Forward meal. We will not share any photos on Food Forward’s social media without your permission. The same Google Form can be used to submit photos of receipts from the items or activities your children spend the reward money on.
