Bringing Healthy Food & Prenatal Services to Families in Champaign, IL

The high rates of obesity, food insecurity, and childhood poverty in Champaign, IL, have been identified as significant issues. To address this, the city should implement a Mobile Food Market to distribute organic produce, baby food, and other essentials to underserved neighborhoods. This initiative is connected to health services through a partnership with Carle Health to offer medical care and prenatal/postnatal services. Additionally, the plan includes expanding educational opportunities and organizing more community events to further support and benefit these underserved areas, aiming to improve both health and socio-economic outcomes in the community.
