Welcome to FreshStartKidz
When a child is born, they are entering into a Fresh Start to life. By educating parents about the benefits of offering your child healthy foods from the beginning, parents are setting a stage for a lifetime of healthy eating which will provide the child with an abundance of benefits in the future. Research performed by the Harvard School of Public health show, “diets rich in vegetables and fruits can lower blood pressure, reduce risk of heart disease and stroke, prevent some types of cancer, lower risk of eye and digestive problems, and have a positive effect upon blood sugar which can help keep appetite in check”.
What we do
Fresh Start Kidz, Inc. strives to reduce gun violence in our community through prevention, intervention, and support programs. Our focus is on utilizing art therapy as a core intervention strategy to help educate children, their parents, and the community at large on what it means to live and lead healthy, well-nourished lives that will promote their overall mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health after being impacted by trauma induced by violence.
Fresh Start Kidz, Inc.’s mission is to promote holistic wellness amongst children and young adults in impoverished communities, during their developmental stages by implementing programs based on eight (8) dimensions of holistic wellness.
Programming
The programming sub-committee planned two marquee events – one in Atlanta & one in Memphis. While both events were thoughtfully planned, we did not have the human capital to execute, but will this year (summer 2023). Please review the project plans/ overviews.
