The
Network for a Healthy
California—
Children’s
Power Play! Campaign
is
a public health initiative
lead by the
California Department of
Public Health,
administered by the
Public
Health Institute,
and funded by
USDA
SNAP,
known in California as
CalFresh.
Its purpose is to motivate
and empower
California’s

fruits and vegetables and

designed to improve
children’s short-term health
and reduce their long-term
risk of chronic diseases,
especially cancer, heart
disease, and obesity. For
