Last summer, the United Way Young Leaders Society put on a Healthy Kids Healthy Communities event at Pepper Place market. We continue to focus on the issue of childhood obesity and to raise awareness and funding for the Jefferson County Health Action Partnership and Healthy Kids Healthy Communities. "The United Way Young Leaders Society created this event to support the wonderful efforts of the Jefferson County Health Action Partnership, Healthy Kids Healthy Communities Initiative, and many of our United Way agencies who strive to fight obesity in Central Alabama," says Matt Chapman, president of the United Way Young Leaders Society. "Cooking for a Cause is an invitation for our community to come see how delicious, practical and wonderful healthy food can be."

The United Way Young Leaders Society would like to thank their sponsor, Alagasco, an Energen Company, for their support.
