Are you and your Community ready to start moving?

Let's Move Faith and Communitiesis meant to support local community efforts, highlight accomplishments throughout the country, and encourage projects that contribute to the First Lady's goal to reverse the trend of childhood obesity in a generation. Mrs. Obama has challenged community groups to get creative and pursue goals that cater to specific community needs. That process can happen in three easy steps. It begins by taking a leadership role in your community, gathering the support of others, and then inspiring your community to create positive changes to get moving.

On your mark… get set… Let's Move!
