Healthy Child Organization is a fantastic company that began after 5 year old Colette Chuda died of a rare form of non-hereditary cancer linked to environmental factors. Her parents Jim and Nancy Chuda, turned their grief into action and formed Healthy Child Healthy World in 1992.
You can visit Healthy Child website and get tons of information about issues affecting our children and families, read about recommended products and actions you can take to make your home safer, find out how you can help, and so much more. The amount of information that this website makes available is amazing!!!
The way I chose to be involved was to host a "Healthy Child Party". Already over 4,000 people have chosen to host and I can absolutely see why!
The website will walk you throught the process of obtaining your Healthy Child kit.
It's simple: "Sign up with a tax-deductible $25 donation for shipping and handling and within three weeks you'll receive a kit filled with educational materials, party planning tools, as well as a variety of natural product samples and coupons from over 15 brands, including LUNA and Earth Friendly Products!"
Hosts invite up to 15 friends and family to meet on an appointed date at a home, business, school or community center. Together, they view the DVD, distribute the samples and discuss Healthy Child's 5 Easy Steps—with the goal of making long-term changes to protect their kids' health.
I was beyond amazed when out large box arrived. The amount of coupons, samples, info packets, full sized samples and product information was incredible. Everything from snacks, to beauty care products, to household products, and tons and tons of literature.
I decided to host a play date at a local park with a pot luck style picnic. I used facebook events and invited a few local moms and kiddies. We had PB&Js, cheese and crackers, fruit, juice boxes and other goodies. It was very informal and Healthy Child provided a DVD with info we let play in the background.
Each mommy got a really great bag from nordic naturals vitamin company, inside contained a few samples, coupons and information from the sponsor companies. I also brought the larger sized products so moms could get a hands on feel.
