Our Funder
This material was produced by the California
Department of Public Health’s Network for a
Healthy California with funding from USDA
SNAP, known in California as CalFresh (formerly
Food Stamps). These institutions are equal
opportunity providers and employers. CalFresh
provides assistance to low-income households
and can help buy nutritious foods for better
health. For CalFresh information, call 1-877-847-
3663. For important nutrition information, visit
www.cachampionsforchange.net.
Network Goals
1. Eat more fruits and vegetables.
2. Increase Physical Activity.
3. Decrease sugary beverages and increase healthy
beverage consumption, mainly water.
A Message from our Project Director
Roberta Acantilado
The State of the Network for a Healthy California—LAUSD

• A little background -
– The source of Network funding all starts at the Federal level with
the Farm Bill
– The Farm Bill’s Food and Nutrition Service funds the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and SNAP-Ed
Program which provide benefits and nutrition education to low-
income households
– Two-thirds of the Farm Bill is spent on nutrition including food
stamps which are known as CalFresh in California
– Currently about 1 in 7 Americans buy food using food stamps
– At least half of the student population must qualify for CalFresh
for a school to participate in the Network
A Message from our Project Director
Roberta Acantilado
Changes to SNAP-Ed funding distribution –

The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act enacted in December of
2010 significantly increased the role of Local Health
Departments (LHD) in nutrition and obesity prevention by
placing greater emphasis on educating parents and
improving community environments.

Beginning in October of 2013 LHDs will take the lead in
obesity prevention. Funding will be based on population
needs meaning that LHDs in areas with a large number of
low-income families will receive more funding and will
subcontract out some services to school districts and
community organizations.
A Message from our Project Director
Roberta Acantilado
Changes to SNAP-Ed funding distribution cont. –

Network staff is waiting to receive grant guidelines from the
State sometime in 2013, but for 2013-2014 and beyond the
LAUSD Network anticipates receiving only a small portion of
the funding seen in previous years which will greatly reduce
staffing.
The energy of Network staff during this 2012-2013 school
year is focused on developing partnerships and training
methods that will sustain the program by having schools
access resources directly from providers. This year Network
trainings will utilize the computer or occur as large events in
regional areas.
A Message from our Project Director
Roberta Acantilado
The future is really about empowerment and sustainability
at school sites –

• the school family determining the needs of the community
• finding the School Wellness Policy, sharing it openly, and using it as a
guide, updating it if necessary
• parents, students and school staff members reaching out to
businesses, local and religious organizations to establish relationships
that benefit the community
• learning about resources that already exist in the community
surrounding the school
• identifying how those resources fit into the SMART Goals
A Message from our Project Director
Roberta Acantilado
The future is really about empowerment and sustainability
at school sites, cont. –

• teaching parents and students to identify what they need to
make their community a healthier place to live
• teaching parents and students how to use a united voice to
communicate their needs to elected officials
• working together to create a healthier living environment
with safe places to play and sources of fresh, nutritious food
• getting the word out to those in need about the availability of
healthy food
A Message from our Project Director
Roberta Acantilado
The bottom line –
The Network is in a state of change. We will communicate with you by
email. The website will be updated often. Our training plan is still in
development. We will be providing trainings online. We are not
scheduling face-to-face trainings at this time. We ask for your patience
and understanding as we navigate through uncharted waters.

Regardless of the changes, the three core Network goals remain the
same - we all need to eat more fruits and vegetables, increase
physical activity, and decrease sugary beverages and increase
healthy beverage consumption, mainly water.

Your dedication and caring are commendable and are evident in your
willingness to do “one more thing.” Thank you for your time and
energy. It is an honor to serve you.
