CULTIVATING HEALTHY LIVING
Featuring the Council on Aging of Buncombe County
2007 & 2008 Grantee ($140,000)
Asheville, NC
We all want to age gracefully. Eating right and exercising are an important part of aging well, but it’s not always easy. That’s where project EMMA (Eat better, Move More, Age well) comes in, providing seniors in Asheville with exercise and healthy eating opportunities.
Project EMMA is helping to connect senior dining programs to local growers, offering exercise classes and has created a senior center-based rooftop garden 13 stories above Asheville's city streets.
As Project EMMA grows, Buncombe County seniors can continue to enjoy all the aspects of a healthy, active life.
