Get a Life is a childhood obesity prevention initiative of  the Community Foundation of  Northwest Mississippi.  Our initial efforts are concentrated in eight counties of northwest Mississippi including Coahoma, Desoto, Marshall, Panola, Quitman, Tallahatchie, Tate and Tunica. 

This website is part of our effort to reach children, their parents, educators, and others who have influence over healthy lifestyles for children.  Here, you will find tips for healthy living, information about healthy food choices and fun physical activities!  You can access   resources, learn about other efforts to address childhood obesity and network with others       in your own area.  This website is made possible by funding from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
