This year’s activities include a department/team healthy potluck competition, a 31 Days of Fruits and Vegetables Challenge, a 31 Day Nutritional Tracker, the opportunity to have your nutrition-related questions answered by one of UW Medicine’s registered dietitians, and additional events led by nutrition experts.

Host a Team Potluck – Register here!
The Whole U invites departments and teams to host a healthy team potluck. In 2018 we had over 200 teams participate and share their favorite healthy recipes with each other. Let’s try to get over 250 teams this year! The winning team receives a $120 gift voucher from Pacific Coast Harvest!
Here is how the team potluck works:
- Register your team.
- Host your potluck any day during March, where everyone brings a healthy dish to share.
- Capture a photo of your potluck and share it with us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #WholeUpotlucks, or email it to us at wholeu@uw.edu for a chance to win a team prize from Pacific Coast Harvest.
