Healthy Eating by Design

The vision for the Healthy Eating by Design - Buffalo (HEbD-Buffalo) program is to raise awareness for the benefits of healthy living and to promote the integration of active lifestyles and healthy eating for children and their families.

The Healthy Eating by Design - Buffalo (HEbD-Buffalo) project is designed to promote, reinforce, and facilitate healthy eating and enhance active living efforts for youth at a school on Buffalo’s East Side.

The Massachusetts Avenue Project (MAP), the University at Buffalo (UB), the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus (BNMC), Urbgardens, Montessori Outdoor Learning Experience (MOLE), Bennett Park Montessori Center, Native Offerings, a local Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm, and the Lexington Co-operative Market are the primary partners forming the working group of the Healthy Eating by Design - Buffalo project.
