Click here to read an article from the Courier-Journal that spotlights the JLL and our Signature Health Initiative! JLL is excited to implement the Kids in the Kitchen initiative supported by the Association of Junior Leagues International, Inc. JLL has launched a local expanded program called Be Fit, Be Fine - a multi-faceted, long-term initiative to address the nutritional and fitness issues facing children and families in the greater Louisville area. Be Fit, Be Fine is the umbrella for numerous events, including RunWild!, Health Summit, Urban Garden Project, and partnerships with the Jefferson County Public Schools, American Heart Association, and the local YMCA, which will improve access to healthy food choices, encourage physical activity, and develop strategies to avoid, manage, and solve the obesity and disease crisis among Louisville women and children.

JLL supports the Blessings in a Backpack program, which provides six meals to school children on weekends - three meals each day, Saturday and Sunday. 55% of students in Louisville public schools are on the Federally-funded Free or Reduced Meal Program at their school, but often go hungry on the weekends. Blessings in a Backpack fills that void and has demonstrated dramatic learning and behavioral improvements. Learn more about the program here. |
