Based on 2017 Year End data, 1,014 additional refugee individuals received fresh traditional produce grown by TTCF farmers on a regular basis. We have been involved with health - related initiatives, including the community gardens mentioned above. The Healthy Kids Campaign sought to ensure that children were provided with opportunities for healthy eating and exercise through working with child care providers and caregivers to develop strategies for better nutrition and active play. We partnered with the North Carolina Partnership for Children and the Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation of North Carolina for 6 years in implementing SHAPE NC, a program that works with child care providers to improve nutritional offerings, exercise through active play, and enriching activity through building outdoor learning environments. We have expanded this program into our Growing Up Healthy Initiative, serving 13 centers to date. We developed the Growing Green Early Educators Garden Network to support the development of healthy nutrition practices, child care gardens, outdoor learning environments, and incorporation of STEM concepts into outdoor learning. e) Other Pertinent Agency Information (Ex.
