The Association of Junior Leagues International (AJLI) and Kashi recently honored Junior League of Dallas (JLD) with a $2,500 grant supporting its Kids in the Kitchen program at the 92nd Annual AJLI Conference.

 

The program empowers youth to make healthy lifestyle choices and reverse the growth of childhood obesity.  JLD had the distinct pleasure of being one of nine Leagues chosen for this award.

 

The eight-week Kids in the Kitchen program, themed "Super Food + Super Fitness = Super Kids" educates more than 400 Dallas children on eating well and staying healthy and incorporates U.S. government nutritional guidelines.
