Healthy Living is a Human Right
WW Good is our initiative to ensure wellness resources are accessible to all communities
It's Past Time to Acknowledge the Crisis
Everyone deserves the resources for healthy living, but in today’s world, not all communities have access to them.
- Nearly 25% of households experienced food insecurity in 2020
- Four in five homes do not have parks within half a mile
- 24% of adults didn’t receive the mental health services they needed
And in marginalized communities, the stats are even more staggering:
- Black and Hispanic adults are twice as likely to experience food insecurity as white adults.
- Communities of color are 3 times less likely than white communities to have access to parks, walking paths, and green spaces.

Through WW Good, we aim to:
- Empower individuals, communities, and local leaders in order to amplify their reach and efforts
