Membership is FREE

Your restaurant can play an active role in the health of the community.

Our Registered Dietitians will review existing menus to establish which items meet the healthy criteria guidelines. We are not the “food police;” we will only offer healthy suggestions upon request.

If a menu item fits, we ask that you identify those items by making the Eat Well logo visible to your customers. We will then advertise your restaurant(s) in our Eat Well promotions at no cost
