Greater Richmond Fit4Kids Fit4Kids works to improve the health and wellness of children by increasing physical activity and promoting healthy eating.

The organization is focused on improving children’s health and wellness in RVA. We believe that active, well-nourished kids learn more in school and have greater self-esteem. Physical activity and mindful eating is about more than avoiding disease - it's about improving children's quality of life.

We are applesolutely having fun in the Learning Gardens this fall! Since September, students have been planting fall crops like lettuce and radishes and learning about soil, plant parts, decomposers, and bugs. They have also been sampling delicious fruit and veggie dishes featuring the same produce they are growing, inspiring healthy habits along the way! 

In honor of and this month, students have tried and loved Kale Apple Salad and Pumpkin Hummus with carrots, made possible through our partnership with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation! 

What other dishes have students sampled so far? Beyond just these two tastings, students across our Learning Gardens and after-school Garden Clubs have also tried Pizza Salad, Cucumber Slices and Grapes, Pico de Gallo with Tortilla Chips, Fall Persimmon Salad, and more.

FUN FEST 2026!!! Thank you to everyone who showed up and showed out two weeks ago for one of the most Fun Fests yet! In true Very Hungry Caterpillar Fashion, we tried all the stations from blending smoothies, racing each other in obstacle courses and caterpillar sack races, snacking on watermelon and oranges, practicing our butterfly breathing, and high-fiving Nutzy and Nutasha. 🎉🐛🦋🌱🍉

A big thank you to our amazing volunteers too! We couldn’t have made Fun Fest a success without your support!

Fun Fest 2027, here we come!
