    The Regional Networks for are funded in 11 regions that together provide services to all California counties. The Regional Networks are working to create environments to help low-income Californians eat healthy and get regular physical activity.

    Designed to cross over traditional political, geographic and organizational boundaries, the Regional Networks conduct activities in three major areas:

    1. Maximize Local Impact -- The Regional Networks provide training, coordination and communications support to all Network-funded projects and other stakeholders in the region.
    2. Mobilize Community Action – Each region includes a Regional Collaborative – individuals, organizations, advocates, community leaders, businesses and others with expertise in nutrition, physical activity, hunger prevention/food security, and under-served communities. Hundreds of people and organizations, including Local Incentive Awardees, Special Projects, and Campaigns, belong to the 11 Regional Collaboratives! The Regional Networks provide administrative support to the Regional Collaboratives and facilitate nutrition education initiatives that make it easier for low-income Californians to adopt healthy eating and physical activity lifestyles in their communities.
    3. Reach Out to Consumers -- The Regional Networks implement regional Campaigns that focus on special populations.
