County Nutrition Action Partnership

Vision:  We envision a county where access to healthy choices is a right.

Mission:  To make healthy choices accessible and affordable to all through collaborative partnerships.

The San Bernardino County Nutrition Action Partnership (CNAP) coordinates collaborative efforts and fosters partnerships among community organizations in order to empower and enable residents to have access to and choose healthy foods/beverages and increase physical activity. This is accomplished through enhancing communication among organizations, education, advocacy, environmental support, coordination, and collaboration.

CNAP Priorities/Strategies

• Promote access to healthy foods and beverages through Policy, Systems, and Environment change efforts
• Promote the United States Department of Agriculture Summer Meal Program to increase participation
  • Summer Meals Dashboard: Nutrition and Wellness Services created the Summer Meals Dashboard with survey data collected to provide a tool that makes data available to school districts and other Summer Meal sponsors to improve their summer meal sites, increase participation, and better serve their community.
  • View the Summer Meals Dashboard
• Promote healthy beverage consumption
• Collaborate with CNAP partners to deliver consistent nutrition messaging and education
• Support efforts to reduce food waste and address food insecurity

Workgroups

• The School Meals Access Collaborative Work Group is dedicated to enhancing access to nutritious meals for students. By fostering partnerships among schools, local organizations, and stakeholders, the group aims to ensure that all students have access to healthy meals.
• The Garden Subcommittee Work Group collaborates on best practices for cultivating and maintaining school and community gardens, with the goal of promoting sustainable agriculture and improving local food access.
