In my years as The Healthy Voyager, my main goal was to spread the message of health in a positive way. I have always been touched by charity and philanthropy and felt that it was time to combine my passion for health and helping others who are unable to help themselves together. It was only a matter of time when I found a way to do so and so I have launched Well Fed America.
Well Fed America is currently under development and will be launching by Fall of 2010 as there are still some things that need to be finalized. However, I am excited to share this with the Healthy Voyager community so that I may start building our team, attracting partners, etc.
Well Fed America is an organization that will be focusing on promoting health and wellness to needy families, schools and the entire nation by way of educational programs, cooking classes and partnering with healthy and natural food companies to feed the less fortunate, well. While there are may charities that raise funds and food for the hungry, they do not focus on the health benefits of the food they provide which only exacerbates existing health issues in these communities, thereby creating yet another problem. Here at Well Fed America, we will not only help the hungry but help the hungry help themselves too by giving them the tools as well as the skills to live healthier lives. In addition, we feel that planting the seeds for healthy living early is key so working with schools and communities will only strengthen us as a nation, both present day and into the future.
Some of the services Well Fed America will provide will be, but will not be limited to:
* Raising funds as well as organizing food drives that collect healthy food and products for needy families, shelters and soup kitchens.
- *Implementing free health screenings, nutrition and healthy cooking classes in community centers for low income citizens.
- *Implementing free health screenings, nutrition and healthy cooking classes in schools for parents, teachers, administrators and students.
- *Partnering with organizations that work with special needs families and those suffering from diseases that benefit from healthy diets, providing assistance, classes & more.

I got so excited when I saw this. Curiosity made me click philanthropy and wow! I shared with my hubby about how I really am interested in learning more about “feeding the hungry”. Lots of my friends are drawn to help animals and I’m very supportive of that, but I’m pulled in this direction. I have no clue about it. Can’t wait to see how this develops and learn from what you do. Who knows, we may have a Well Fed America Reaching Hawaii 😀
I’m so inspired. Thank you for following your dreams and your heart.
