Healthy Meck Initiatives
Blue Tablecloth Initiative
The Blue Tablecloth Initiative is a community program that helps people enjoy heart-healthy and nourishing foods. When you see a blue tablecloth, it means there are tasty, nutritious foods to try and learn about.
Network of Neighbors Initiative
The Network of Neighbors Initiative helps people in Mecklenburg County learn about ways to support their health and well-being by sharing easy-to-understand, trustworthy information. It connects neighbors and community partners so everyone can find the help they need to live healthier lives.
Weaving Strength Initiative
The Weaving Strength Initiative helps neighbors in North Mecklenburg strengthen their connections and community support. It brings people together to share skills, build trust, and find out about resources and services that can help them stay healthy. It’s about making sure everyone feels welcome, supported, and connected.
Participatory Grantmaking
Healthy Meck is excited to launch a new way to share funds with community partners. This approach is called a Shared Gifting Circle. In this model, everyone who applies and is selected becomes part of a cohort that helps decide how the funding is shared across the cohort. This puts more decision-making power into the hands of the people doing the work every day.
