Activate Upstate Receives
National Grant to Prevent and
Reduce Obesity in Greenville
Activate Upstate has been awarded a 4-year $360,000 grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) to improve opportunities for physical activity and access to affordable healthy foods for children and families in Berea, Nicholtown and Sterling. Based on a rigorous selection process that drew more than 500 proposals from across the country, Greenville County is one of 41 sites selected for the RWJF Healthy Kids, Healthy Communities initiative. Over the next four years, Activate Upstate will use this funding to coordinate a grassroots planning process with the three communities to identify environmental and policy changes needed to support good health. Youth and adults from each neighborhood will be engaged to serve on advisory committees that will guide the work in their own communities.
