Dr. Selby and his fellow residents provide one of several programs at the Norton Neighborhoods after-school site, "The Gardens" in southeastern San Bernardino. The doctors teach children good nutrition, safety, and fitness, and encourage them to eat 5 fruits and vegetables a day. The funds will also help distribute food from the San Bernardino County Food Bank to neighborhood families in challenging circumstances.
 

On the day when Dr. Guia-Lynn Escuro taught about the importance of exercise, drinking plenty of water was also part of the lesson. In addition, the children who wore their 5-a-Day shirts to promote eating 5 fruits and vegetables a day, got fresh strawberries and grapes as a snack.
