Nourishing Futures: Help CentroNía Sustain Healthy Eating Habits for Our Families

Since the new school year began, CentroNía has remained unwavering in our mission to empower families to live healthy, active lives. We believe that fostering a culture of health and wellness is essential for the success of our children and their families.

Now, imagine this: every child at CentroNía receiving nutritious meals each day, while their parents gain the skills and knowledge to continue these healthy habits at home through workshops and training.

Our commitment to holistic wellness shines through programs like the Women's Fitness and Wellness initiative, where parents and staff come together for Zumba classes and nutrition education. These efforts do more than promote fitness—they inspire a lifelong dedication to well-being and self-care.

But right now, we are facing a significant challenge. Our Food & Wellness Program, which serves low-income families with essential nutrition and wellness services, is in urgent need of funding.

Without your support, we may struggle to continue providing this vital assistance to families who rely on us.

Beatriz, a mother of two CentroNía students, shared her experience:

"Sometimes, you don’t have time for yourself, and it’s hard to make the healthiest choices. Programs like these teach us how to do better, and that’s why they’re so valuable to me."

The impact is real. Parents and teachers often tell us how our programs have transformed their families—encouraging kids to try new foods and adopt healthy habits that will last a lifetime. As Victoria Reis, our Food and Wellness Program Manager, says:

"Watching the positive changes in our families is the most rewarding part of what we do. It’s a reminder that our efforts are making a real difference—and we’re committed to helping more families live healthier lives."

CentroNía is more than just an early childhood center. We are a beacon of hope for families striving for better health and brighter futures. By providing access to nutritious meals, fresh produce, and wellness education, we are helping families make health an integral part of their daily lives.

But to continue this critical work, we need your help. Your generosity can bridge this funding gap, ensuring that every family has the opportunity to thrive. Together, we can nourish futures and lead our community toward healthier living.

Please join us in creating healthier, brighter tomorrows—because every child deserves the chance to grow up strong and healthy.

With gratitude,

CentroNía Development Team
