On May 8, 2019, parents and children from Corcoran joined Californians across the state to pledge to drink water or naturally-sweetened drinks instead of beverages with added sugars. Coordinated by UC CalFresh and sponsored by CalFresh Healthy Living program, the “Rethink Your Drink Day” event attended by over 65 attendees, was held at the Corcoran Family Resource Center. Making healthy drink choices can be easy when you're armed with the right information, like how to create a healthy drink with ingredients you have at home. The attendees were offered fruit infused water and recipes to make healthy water drinks at home. As a fun way to encourage physical activity, parents were invited to participate in Biloterapia (dance therapy). Others providing resources in the community were in attendance including Family Healthcare Network, 211 Kings County, Veteran Services and many more. Overall, the “Rethink Your Drink Day” event inspired adults and children to take small steps for health like drinking more water.
