Active Communities
The Active Communities initiative recognizes the benefit of eating well and physical activity on one’s mental health and wellbeing. Research shows a link between what we eat, movement, and how we feel. This approach allows purposeful action towards a healthy mindset and ultimately healthy living.
Cooking for Health Academy
A series of free courses offering nutrition education, food safety awareness, and cooking skills. The virtual and/or in-person classes take place throughout the year.
Diabetes Program
The Diabetes Program offers classes and support groups to assist you in controlling your pre- or Type 2 diabetes.
Early Childhood Nutrition & Policy
Our program promotes healthy habits among preschool students and families by assisting childcare sites in adopting nutrition and physical activity best practices.
Healthy Retail
We partner with small, neighborhood grocery stores far from supermarkets to promote health and well-being and offer a variety of fruits, vegetables, healthy snacks, and water.
Older Adult Nutrition Activities
In partnership with Alameda County Social Services Area on Aging, older adults participate in Bingocize, an evidence-based health promotion program combining physical activity and nutrition with the game of bingo! This happens over a 10-week period in a fun and interactive way.
School & Youth Nutrition Programs
Alameda County Nutrition Services partners with schools, local recreation and community centers, and community-based organizations to expand youth experiences in nutrition, cooking, gardening, physical activity and healthy messaging.
