Farm to Early Care and Education (ECE)

We support Farm to ECE programs by linking local farmers with childcare centers, bringing fresh, local food to young children.

Food and Nutrition

We work with community partners to promote food service and nutrition guidelines. We also support programs that provide fruit and vegetable vouchers and produce prescriptions, making it easier for families to access fresh foods.

Food Systems

We collaborate with local partners to strengthen the food system so everyone can access healthy, culturally relevant foods.

Safe and Accessible Physical Activity

We support community design changes, like adding sidewalks, trails, and safe spaces, that make it easier and safer for people to be physically active.

Partners

Kemāmaceqtaq: We’re All Moving thrives through strong partnerships with local organizations, community leaders, and health advocates. Together, we collaborate to promote healthier food access, expand physical activity opportunities, and support the well-being of Menominee County/Nation residents.

Our community partnerships include: Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin Community Development Department, College of Menominee Nation Department of Continuing Education Department, and College of Menominee Nation Sustainable Development Institute
