EatMoveGrow (EMG) is a federally funded grant program that offers a wide variety of engaging programs to children, families and schools in rural, underserved elementary schools and communities across Southeast Louisiana. Our primary mission is to close health gaps and create opportunities that promote stronger health environments for children.  

EatMoveGrow is actively involved in obesity prevention work specific to Delta parishes. We assist schools in forming School Wellness Committees that drive policy changes to support healthy living while conducting ongoing research to progress movement opportunities. Our passionate Coordinators play an active role in providing and teaching lessons for students to learn and apply healthy habits.
