On Saturday, October 2, 2010, Houston DINEs lent a helping hand to Recipe For Success and CAN DO Houston at Lyons Elementary to build a food garden for the school. CAN DO Houston added the Northside Village Community in 2010 as beneficiaries of its outreach services.
Lyons Elementary was selected as the site school because of the willingness of school staff to prioritize and tackle childhood obesity. The community garden at Lyons Elementary is the first of many initiatives that CAN DO will launch this school year.

Obesity prevention takes team work much like building a garden!! “The work that we seek to do goes beyond the construction of a community garden, what’s important is the education and awareness that comes from the presence of the garden, that is why CAN DO Houston is unique and our work is sustainable”.
Recipe for Success is dedicated to combating childhood obesity by changing the way children understand, appreciate and eat their food. Houston DINEs encourages consumers to ask questions about the foods they eat. Eating the right foods is extremely important component to healthy living. All children deserve access to healthy choices and good nutrition. After all healthy kids become healthy adults and healthy adults become healthy Houstonians!!
