Lighten Up Lancaster County Coalition is a group of concerned individuals, organizations, and employers from all walks of life: stay-at-home parents, students, schools, healthcare entities, local government officials, food-service employees, recreation/fitness contacts, and private businesses. Our single mission is to increase the number of adults and children in Lancaster County who are at a healthy weight.

We invite you to become a member of the Coalition. You decide how much time you can commit.No matter how much, every step in line with our mission helps to continue our efforts, now and in the future.
