The Community Food Security Coalition CFSC

Community Conservation and Health Education Center

The goals and objectives of the proposal include:

Meeting the nutritional needs of people living in low socio-economic regions of the community.

Increasing the autonomy of individuals living in communities that need food assistance and those that need health assistance.

Promoting logical and helpful information on request about nutrition or health-related issues using our website and pamphlets, and health promotions teams.

Working with agricultural specialists to convert farms to sustainable living environments that will sustain the community in the future and for years to come.

Meeting the specific food and agriculture needs to help create an infrastructure that will allow for development and long-term planning that will benefit consumers and producers.

Providing the children with community recreational support that will provide free nutrition and meals to children living in low socio-economic environments.

Focus Area

Community outreach programs, religious non-profits, farmers' markets, youth, sustainable agriculturalists, health centers within the community, recreation centers, educational facilities for grade school children.

Mission

The Community Conservation and Health Education Center is committed to providing health and nutritional information and support to regional facilities by taking advantage of community collaboration and by working directly with rural and urban agriculture, with local healthcare providers and nursing teams, with educational and training facilities and with local food market development teams.

Background

The CCHEC is an organization formed in January of 2007 that is committed to providing the surrounding community with health and nutritional information and education. The organization will also provide the community with health support in the way of screenings for common health problems and with support for agriculturalists interested in learning more about creating healthy sustainable agricultural farms that will provide for the health and nutritional needs of the community.

The CCHEC has expanded its network to also provide solutions that will enable the restructuring and restoration of agricultural farming communities and entities that require building assistance and information pertaining to sustainable living through health and nutritional resources and information.

Previous to the creation of the CCHEC, there was no central unifying body within the area providing educational and health assistance to people in need of it including area youths, farmers, agricultural teams and organic food production advocates. The purpose of this program includes reaching out to these communities and providing them with the health and nutritional support they need to pass education on to others.

The CCHED hopes to form a sustainable chain of centers that will expand into different communities and offer them the same health and nutritional information required to build their own sustainable structures, and to educate their own communities.

Programs

The community CCHED resides in is one that includes many farmers, agriculturists, sustainable living enthusiasts and many, many people of low socio-economic status. The creation and expansion of CCHED will allow these people an opportunity to not only acquire the health and nutritional advice and information they need, it will also provide them with supplies and information that will help them learn how to bolster the agricultural potential of the area so they become self-sufficient.

There are two food centers in town the CCHED will work directly with that provide meals and educational information to people that sign up for their program. These facilities also work with the CCHED to support and sound economic and agricultural investment that will allow the community to live healthy and high quality lives.

The CCHED also partners with JKD Memorial Health Center, and will work with registered nurses and Certified Nursing Assistants to develop a program that will teach minors in school how to improve their health through nutrition, and how to invest in sustainable living causes including sustainable agriculture. The idea is that the CCHED will provide community members with the resources they need to regulate farming, restore sustainable agricultural farms so that people have enough food, and to provide those in need with proper nutrition and health education.
