Live Well San Diego recently highlighted in its updates the overwhelming success of San Diego County Childhood Obesity Initiative (COI) most recent Request for Applications that provided mini-grants to address policy, systems, or environmental changes in support of healthy eating and active living. This year, the Childhood Obesity Initiative had 17 organizations apply for grants totaling over $75,000.
