Let’s Go! is a community-wide effort to promote healthy living for children, youth and families. Its goal is to increase physical activity and healthy eating for children from birth to age 18. The message of Let’s Go! is “5-2-1-0 Every Day,” which means:
- 5 or more fruits & vegetables
- 2 hours or less recreational screen time
- 1 hour or more of physical activity
- 0 sugary drinks, more water & low fat milk
Let’s Go! Androscoggin is working to bring Let’s Go! to schools, child cares, after school programs, and health care providers in our area. This could mean more nutritious snacks served to kids, more active playtimes and recesses, more family mealtimes and activities, and healthier adult role models, among many other positive changes! These efforts are sponsored in part by United Way of Androscoggin County and the Maine Commission for Community Service. To find out more about Let’s Go! Androscoggin, contact Van Beckman by calling 330-7882 or email: vanbecna@cmhc.org.
