Husky Nutrition works very closely with Husky Sport.   Headed by Dr. Ann Ferris, Husky Nurtition is dedicated to educating young children and families about healthy eating.   Husky Nutrition, like Husky Sport, is committed to improving the quality of life in the Harford community. Workshops, group discussions, and after school programs are some of the ways Husky Nutrition is reaching out to the Hartford community. Husk Sport shares a portion of the Husky Nutrition Grant from the USDA geared toward education and programming for food stamp recipients in Hartford.   Husky Sport incorporates healthy nutritional choices into its lesson plans as well.
