Bring the 5 A Day Challenge to your worksite!
March is National Nutrition Month, and WorkWell NYC is celebrating with the 5 A Day Your Way Challenge! The week-long challenge kicks off on Wednesday, March 18th.
The 5 A Day Your Way challenge encourages employees to strive for 5 servings of fruits and vegetables every day as part of a healthy diet. By participating in the challenge, employees will receive access to daily prompts, a personal tracker, meal planning tips, and more!
​
This year, we’ve added a NEW worksite component to the challenge! Download the toolkit for all the information you need to set up 5 A Day Your Way @ Work and engage your co-workers in a fun and healthy activity!
5 A Day Your Way @ Work
To help build community around eating healthy, WorkWell NYC will be offering Ambassadors supplies to set up a 5 A Day Your Way @ Work poster at your worksite.
The 5 A Day Your Way @ Work poster is a space for participants to share how they get to 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each day.
