DCBA Community Health Initiative

Downtown Chico's Community Health Initiative at the Thursday Night Market

As part of the Healthy Communities Collaborative, the DCBA is proud to launch Healthy Habits at Thursday Night Market — a new initiative promoting wellness, connection, and support for a healthier Butte County.  

By participating in such efforts, the Thursday Night Market will be used as a platform to actively engage the community with integrated health-focused community activities and services that foster a healthier, more connected, and empowered community.

The focus areas integrated will follow the 3 key pillars of health by the Healthy Communities Collaborative and their Healthy Here program:

• Healthy Eating
• Physical Activity
• Connection & Meaning

New Feature at the Thursday Night Market: The Healthy Habits Block

Each season we will be implementing a community resources aisle called the "Healthy Habits Block" where health-focused community organizations, whose mission is to promote healthy or sustainable living in Butte County, can showcase their community resources at the market. 

Each week, we're offering up to 5 FREE booth spaces to local organizations who want to connect directly with residents. It's the perfect opportunity to share valuable resources, raise awareness, and support individuals who may benefit from your services — all in a welcoming, community-centered space.

Spots are limited, so don't wait! Let's build a stronger, more connected community together.
