Mission
Let’s Go! is a community-based initiative to promote healthy lifestyle choices for children, youth and families in 12 Greater Portland communities. Our goal is to increase physical activity and healthy eating for children and youth - from birth to 18. Let’s Go!’s Founding Partners are Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Maine, Hannaford Bros. Co., MaineHealth, Maine Medical Center, TD Banknorth, Unum and United Way of Greater Portland, a unique partnership of Maine’s leading health, business and community-based organizations.
Let’s Go! will be involved in 12 Greater Portland communities - Cape Elizabeth, Cumberland, Gorham, Falmouth, Freeport, North Yarmouth, Portland, Scarborough, South Portland, Westbrook, Windham and Yarmouth. In each of these communities, Let’s Go! would like to partner with interested community members – whether in existing community teams or by forming new teams – to work on ways to increase physical activity and healthy eating. Let’s Go! will also work on certain programs and activities that cross all 12 communities.
