Conagra Brands Foundation (\u201cThe Foundation\u201d) has provided a grant to support the Health and Leadership Program at Erie House. The grant will advance the work of the Super H and Comprando Rico y Sano<\/em>\u00a0(“Buying Tasty and Healthy”)\u00a0initiatives, both of which provide nutrition education and resources for healthy living.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Conagra Brands Foundation is pleased to support this holistic health and wellness initiative that provides children and adults with essential knowledge while also celebrating culture and building self-esteem,\u201d says Robert Rizzo, Senior Director, Conagra Brands Foundation.<\/p>\n

Super H\u2014along with its companion, Super H-itos\u2014works specifically with children and youth; Comprando Rico y Sano, meanwhile, is geared toward adults. Together the initiatives reached more than 1,250 people last year, elevating the general wellbeing of families within the Erie House community.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe community we serve is disproportionately impacted by diabetes, heart disease and obesity,\u201d observes Micaella Verro, director of the Health and Leadership Program. \u201cNutrition education is key to preventing those diseases before they start.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Foundation\u2019s community impact grant program invests in the communities where Conagra Brands operates by supporting community-based organizations. Erie House\u2019s proven success in the area of nutrition education aligns well with its other efforts focusing on food access, nutrition education, cooking skills and supporting healthy and active lifestyles.<\/p>\n

Verro points out that the impact of this programming goes far beyond physical wellness.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe focus on strategies to engage the entire family during all of our classes\u2014so that cooking and shopping become an opportunity to reinforce healthy habits.\u201d<\/h3>\n

\u2013 Micaella Verro, Director of Health and Leadership<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cBesides the obvious health benefits, it\u2019s important for us to support healthy nutrition because cooking and shopping are very powerful times that naturally bring families together,\u201d she explains. \u201cWe focus on strategies to engage the entire family during all of our classes\u2014so that cooking and shopping become an opportunity to reinforce healthy habits.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Health and Leadership Program taps into a network of student interns and volunteer promotores de salud\u2014health promoters\u2014to bring wellness resources and education further into the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe see kids succeed in this program,\u201d says Verro. \u201cThey are also our best advocates. The real breakthrough is when they tell their parents about what they learn in Super H\u2014and they even prepare our recipes at home. This ensures that we\u2019re making an impact on entire families.<\/p>\n
