5210 … five (5) or more servings of fruits and vegetables, two (2) hours or less of recreational screen time, one (1) hour or more of physical activity, zero (0) sugary beverages. Every day.
This is the message that the Olympic Peninsula Healthy Community Coalition has been infusing into the local communities throughout Clallam County since it began as a grassroots project in 2015.
Their mission is to form partnerships and networks that establish healthy choices as the standard in our community. The coalition launched the 5210 initiative in Clallam County, which encourages a healthy lifestyle based on the choices we make every day.
Since the inception of the Sequim Farmers Market in 1995, it has served as a local gathering place and market place, with the vision of becoming a major factor in Sequim lifestyle, and boosting community spirit.
The 5210 initiative falls right in line with what the market has to offer, and we are proud to be collaborating with the efforts of the Olympic Peninsula Healthy Community Coalition.
This Saturday is Kid’s Day at the Sequim Farmers Market, and there will be many opportunities for youths to explore and make their own healthy lifestyle choices. Visit the activity booth to receive a $2 coupon which kids can use to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables from local farm vendors. Coupons are available on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last.
This month the activity booth will feature a Farmers Market Scavenger Hunt!
