The purpose of the Children’s Health working group is to improve access to healthy foods for children at home, restaurants, schools, and in the community.

Current work includes a plan to encourage restaurants to make less-surgery beverages the default options on children's menus.

Past projects have included lesson plans on backyard and container gardening, helping develop Fort Worth’s Urban Agriculture Ordinance, and publishing a monthly gardening newsletter.​

The Food Recovery working group educates, connects, and empowers communities to become food recovery champions.

Through community programs, policies, and projects food recovery is advanced and progress is made toward the creation of a countywide, grassroots effort to end food waste.
