About Rethink Your Drink Day
The California Department of Public Health’s (CDPH) CalFresh Healthy Living (CFHL) program invites Local Health Departments and community partners to host “Day of Action” events and engage their communities in support of Rethink Your Drink Day on Wednesday, May 10, 2023!
What is Rethink Your Drink Day?
Rethink Your Drink Day is a statewide promotion created by CDPH’s CFHL program to encourage families to make healthier drinking choices. Participating in Rethink Your Drink Day will help adults and children identify drinks with added sugar and provide education about the benefits of healthy beverage choices. This is an opportunity to encourage your community to take small steps toward making positive and healthy behavior changes.
