Work Well Winter Park is a movement spearheaded by the Chamber to improve the health and well-being of the workforce in our community by creating lasting cultural change.

Provide educational health programs onsite or encourage employees to seek out informative programs offered by community partners. The more your employees are aware of disease prevention, stress management, healthy eating, and other health-related topics, the more they can take care of themselves and their families… and be productive members of your company.

REGISTER FOR WORK WELL LUNCH

While it might take more than an apple a day to keep the doctor away, it is a fact that certain kinds of food have the ability to bolster your immune system and can help you ward off fatigue, injuries, and disease. At this month’s lunch, popular guest speaker Lois Dorotiak of Whole Foods Market returns to unveil these super-foods and how you can incorporate them into your diet. Join us for lunch and you will leave with new-found nutritional wisdom and a handful of delicious immune-boosting recipes that will help enhance your well-being and quality of life! Register here by October 7. Cost: Free to Work Well participating teams and their employees / $5 guests.

If your business is interested in becoming a WWWP team, please contact Leah Nash at workwell@winterpark.org.

It is hard to believe, but unfortunately true that 172,590 children in our community struggle with hunger. When these kids have no food, we have no choice but to respond. This fall the Winter Park community is breaking new ground in an effort to end hunger in Central Florida.

Feed the Need Winter Park, presented by Mayflower Retirement Community and Winter Park Memorial Hospital, is not your average food drive.  It is the first of its kind, community-wide effort to raise funds for Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida.

Come with your children, school aged K-5, for a 90 minute family film and exhibit tour at The Morse Museum. Spots are limited so reserve your spot today. A refundable deposit is required for the children, $5 per child. Call the Department of Education at 407 645 5311 EXT#136.

Are you a member? Tuesday August 27 is Member Appreciation Day. Come and save 20% on your purchase at the museum gift shop.
