The Weigh Forward: Project 

The Weigh Forward: Robeson County is a community-centered initiative aimed at reducing obesity and enhancing overall wellness for residents across Robeson County. Recognizing the unique cultural and geographic diversity of the region, the project delivers accessible, culturally relevant health resources directly to the people who need them most.

Through a hub-and-spoke model, Weigh Forward connects central wellness hubs with outreach into rural and underserved areas, ensuring that no community is left behind. The project focuses on three key objectives:

• Promoting healthy lifestyles through engaging community events.

• Providing health education, fitness opportunities, and nutritional support to build sustainable wellness habits.

• Reaching marginalized populations—including youth, families, seniors, and Native American communities—to address health inequities head-on.

By combining community-driven strategies with evidence-based practices, The Weigh Forward empowers residents of Robeson County to take meaningful steps toward a healthier, more vibrant future.

Please check back for updates on upcoming events and opportunities to engage with this critical initiative.
