About the event
Roots to Rise is your youth‑wellness program that connects kids with local farmers, fresh food, and hands‑on learning so they can build lifelong healthy habits. At its core, it blends nutrition education, movement, and real‑world food experiences to address the gaps you see every day in Omaha and Council Bluffs—limited access to fresh foods, low food literacy, and rising childhood obesity.
🌱 What Roots to Rise is
Teaches kids where food comes from through farm visits, garden activities, and direct interaction with local growers.
Builds food literacy—how to choose, prepare, and enjoy fresh, whole foods.
Expands access to healthy options by bringing local produce into schools, after‑school programs, and family events.
Promotes movement and mindfulness as part of a whole‑child wellness approach.
