Florida Introduces Physical Activity and Nutrition to Youth (FLIPANY) fights childhood hunger and obesity with innovative nutrition education, cooking, worksite wellness and fitness programs. We serve kids, families, and other members of the community, including seniors, by collaborating with community centers, schools, companies, after-school programs, parks, and social service agencies. Our programs make South Florida more food secure and physically fit.

FLIPANY (Florida Introduces Physical Activity and Nutrition to Youth) started in 2005, with the goal of bringing nutrition education, access to healthy meals and physical activity to low-income neighborhoods in South Florida. Almost 18 years later we are reaching 6,500+ children each day, serving over 600 South Florida after-school sites and community partners, with the support of 25 staff, and deliver over 1.5 million meals to under-served communities, annually. 

FLIPANY’s work in the community gained national recognition from Partnership for a Healthier America, we became lead partners in South Florida for the US Soccer Foundation and Cooking Matters (No Kid Hungry Campaign), and finally, FLIPANY has been recognized by the Florida Department of Agriculture for the high-quality meals we serve to our community partners. 

FLIPANY’s mission is to advance healthy equity through nutrition education, physical activities and wellness initiatives. We have managed to provide customized programming to sites in Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties. Focused on the fight against childhood obesity and hunger, FLIPANY works with community organizations to leverage resources and provide education programs. 

Together we have helped thousands of people learn effective ways to live a healthy life while providing alternatives to mitigating issues of food insecurity and food access. It is our hope that you too, will join the fight to build healthier children and healthier communities in support of FLIPANY’s mission and vision.
