Welcome Interns!
We are excited to be working with three wonderful interns from MCPHS University this summer. Liz Marashi and Soumya Mehrotra are both undergraduates and Anthony Lacina is a doctoral student in the field of Public Health. They have been invaluable in helping at various activities and programs this summer, especially our Healthy Food Access Survey (More on this below).

Take the Healthy Food Access Survey
This summer we are conducting a community survey (developed and conducted with assistance from our interns). The survey is open to all who live, work or go to school in Waltham. How easy or hard is it to access healthy foods in Waltham? What are some of the challenges? These are questions that we hope to answer through this survey. Just go to our website to
complete the survey. The responses are anonymous. Once you complete the survey, you can enter our raffle for gift certificates, a Healthy Waltham cookbook, and more. Raffle drawing will be at the end of August. Learn more about our
Waltham Healthy Food Access Coalition here.
Vote for the Community Day Center Garden
The Community Day Center of Waltham has plans to build a garden near their new location on Felton St. They are very excited to engage many people in growing vegetables to be used for meals served in the center, as well as nutrition and job education. They are hoping to raise some funds through an online contest. You can vote once per day through July 6
through this link. Please vote for the Community Day Center garden!
