Why participate?

In 2018, the CDC reported 1 in 5 children have obesity.

  • 20.3% are 6-11 year olds

In Ohio (2018)14.6%-15.4% of 2-4 year olds in WIC were overweight.

Consider that children who have obesity are more likely to become adults with obesity. Habits start early!

Early care and out of school time programs can be the first line of offense for a healthy lifestyle.
