Hope you can change my email access and get this report through. Note the
last line. I believe this is the Tribe that was in Pisinimo.

Kellogg Foundation Awards $4.5 Million to Foster Healthy Communities


The  <http://www.wkkf.org/> W.K. Kellogg Foundation in Battle Creek,
Michigan, has announced $4.5 million in grants to nine community groups
across the country working to encourage active living and healthy eating
locally.

The community groups, representing collaborations between schools, hospitals
and public health agencies, nonprofits, businesses, churches, and
recreational facilities, will each receive a two-year, $500,000 award to
create an action plan to improve health, nutrition, and physical activity
among local families and children. Projects will focus on increasing
physical activity in schools and safety in public spaces; creating community
gardens and markets for affordable local and regionally grown foods; and
creating more pathways for walkers and bicyclists. Several projects will
specifically address the needs of African American, Hispanic, Native
American, Asian American, and Pacific Islander populations. After the
planning process has been completed, each group will be eligible for
implementation funding for up to eight years.

The projects receiving funding are the Boston Collaborative, the Detroit
Food and Fitness Collaborative, the Holyoke Collaborative in Massachusetts,
the New York City-based Partnership for Increasing Access to Healthy Food
and Physical Activity for Children and Families, the Northeast Iowa Food and
Fitness Initiative, the Oakland Food and Fitness Community Collaborative in
California, the Philadelphia Food and Fitness Alliance, the Seattle-based
King County Food and Fitness Initiative, and the Tohono O'odham Food,
Fitness, and Wellness Initiative in Sells, Arizona.
