🌟 "This program has changed my life." 🌟
Five months ago, Helen joined the Wellness on Wheels (WOW) grant funded program led by HIM Food Bank, in collaboration with Central Storehouse and Under The Bridge Fort Worth, hoping to improve her health. Today, at age 51, she has lost 30 pounds, no longer requires blood pressure medication, and has discovered a renewed commitment to her well-being.
Through healthy groceries, nutrition education, preventive health screenings, and ongoing encouragement, Helen has built habits she plans to carry forward for the rest of her life. She even credits the program's gratitude journal with helping her focus on the positive changes in her health and outlook. But for Helen, the impact goes beyond the numbers. She says the kindness, support and encouragement she receives from WOW staff and volunteers each month make her feel valued, respected and empowered.
Stories like Helen's demonstrate the power of combining healthy food access, nutrition education, preventive care, and compassionate support. Texas Health is proud to invest in Wellness on Wheels and celebrates that participants across Tarrant County are improving their health and gaining the tools and confidence to thrive.
