Seven community coalitions in Oregon and southwest Washington state have received funding to promote physical activity and healthy eating locally. The first round of grants from the Alliance for the Promotion of Physical Activity and Nutrition (APPAN) range from $25,000 - $100,000 and will support community-based efforts to reverse the trends in obesity. Partners as diverse as school districts, private businesses and faith groups will work to establish farmer’s markets, promote connected recreational trails, and advocate for healthier land-use and school nutrition policies.
