Shop Healthy NYC makes healthy options available in areas with high rates of obesity and limited access to nutritious foods
175 Bronx retailers offering healthier options in their stores as a result of Shop Healthy NYC
The Health Department today announced the launch of the second wave of Shop Healthy NYC. Shop Healthy NYC is a program that works with communities to increase access to healthy foods. Over the past year, the Shop Healthy NYC program successfully worked with residents, community organizations and food retailers, suppliers, and distributors in the West Farms and Fordham neighborhoods of the Bronx. Today, the program will begin its expansion to the South Bronx neighborhoods of Mott Haven, Hunts Point, and Longwood with the potential to impact nearly 100,000 new Bronx residents.
