FLIPANY Honors National and Local Partnerships
Florida Introduces Physical Activity and Nutrition to Youth (FLIPANY) is honored to have the support of various local and national partners. The Healthy Students Healthy Community Partnership (HSHC) was developed to improve the health of Deerfield Beach Middle School students and families. As part of this initiative, FLIPANY serves as the lead agency and has received a two year grant to create change and focus on improving the health of the Deerfield Beach community, which was one of 20 communities from 11 states that benefit from the collaboration.
The Healthiest Cities and Counties Challenge funds the HSHC partnership, the American Public Health Association, the Aetna Foundation, and the National Association of Counties and Healthy Places by Design. FLIPANY is proud that the local communities have supported the HSHC partnership, allowing the program to flourish
Along with our national partners, FLIPANY has had the pleasure of engaging in two outstanding local partnerships: Farm Share and the Children's Services Council of Broward County. Farm Share is a Florida based nonprofit food bank that provides families in need with fresh produce and healthy food to which they may not otherwise have access. Children's Services Council of Broward County has made it its mission to provide Broward County children with the resources necessary to become healthy and responsible adults.
Incredibly, the market has had the opportunity to reach people beyond South Florida. Recently, a family of three from Kentucky lost everything due to a tornado and came to Deerfield Beach to stay with family in the area. The mom expressed relief knowing that receiving a weekly food supply eases the burden on her family.
FLIPANY, HSHC, Children's Services Council of Broward County, and Farm Share proudly provide families across South Florida access to fresh and healthy foods.
