Summary
The goal of this community-based randomized trial in elementary-aged children and a caregiver (parent/guardian) is to test the effect of providing families with produce and grocery store gift cards (family support) in conjunction with an after-school program for physical activity and healthy eating on improving children's overall diet, in comparison to the child only attending the after-school program without the family support.
Participating families will:
* receive weekly produce bags delivered to their home, recipes, and gift cards to a local grocery store (family support)
* the child will attend the after-school program during the school year
Researchers will compare the child's diet and eating scores with those in the after-school program alone.
