What We Do

The Shelby County Wellness Alliance helps our community Eat Well, Move More, and Feel Better.

Eat Well

The Eat Well team is focused on addressing challenges related to access and enjoyment of healthy and nourish food. This team has worked to reduce food insecurity and to improve understanding and access to food that contributes to overall wellness for areas residents. Their efforts include food recovery and distribution with a community fridge.

Move More

The Move More team supports opportunities to add more movement to life! This team has helped build awareness of great movement opportunities in Shelby County, such as DNR events, hiking, walking, and biking opportunities, and learning new activities such as pickle ball. This team also worked to fund and install free outdoor fitness equipment at Pioneer Park in Harlan.

Feel Better

The Feel Better team focuses on helping the community feel more connected and supported. This team has annually shared the Make It Ok campaign to fight stigma related to mental health conditions. The Feel Better team also leads the Community Canvas campaign, bringing more public art to Shelby County, including the new mural outside the Harlan Theatre!Â
