REACH

Cultiva La Salud’s REACH grant was a three-year program funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) initiative. Cultiva La Salud targeted Fresno, Kern and Stanislaus counties in six largely Latino neighborhoods and communities including Southeast Fresno, Orange Cove, Southeast Bakersfield, Arvin, Ceres and Turlock.  The project worked in partnership with the Dolores Huerta Foundation and the Ceres Partnership for Healthy Children.  Project goals were to  increase access to healthy food and beverage options as well as opportunities for physical activity among Latinos.
