ReThink Your Drink for Summer Meal Programs


ReThink Your Drink for Summer Meal Programs

On July 9, 2010, the Summer Meal Program Coalition hosted a webinar for summer meal programs entitled: ReThink Your Drink.

The ReThink Your Drink program provides resources, materials and training to help your K-6 kids cut down on unhealthy drinks. 

For most communities in the state, you will learn how to get connected to ReThink Your Drink through your regional Network collaborative.  Sponsored by the Network for a Healthy California, an initiative of the California Department of Public Health, ReThink Your Drink can provide free technical assistance, training and materials to summer meal sponsors and sites. 

 You can connect to the ReThink Your Drink Program in many ways:
