About The Brownsville Wellness Coalition

The Brownsville Wellness Coalition (BWC) is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization located in the southernmost tip of Texas. The organization was formed in 2008 to address the community’s poor health status by providing programs that promote nutrition and healthy lifestyles.

The city of Brownsville has an alarming, above-national prevalence of residents who are overweight, obese, and living with diabetes. Furthermore, Brownsville is one of the nation’s poorest cities, with over 31% of families living below the poverty level.

Through the community’s prompt response and the endless collaboration from many of the local organizations and community leaders, BWC continues to address these health issues and work arduously to bring change to communities in Brownsville and neighboring cities.

We impact the overall wellness in our community by: • strengthening the local food system • improving access to nutritious affordable food • educating the public to produce, cook and eat healthy local food • promoting healthy lifestyle choices • providing opportunities to engage in physical activity
