Hebni

Hebni Nutrition Consultants, Inc. is a community-based, nonprofit agency formed in 1995 to educate high-risk, culturally diverse populations about nutrition strategies to prevent diet-related diseases.

Hebni’s founders have authored six best-selling cookbooks published by the American Diabetes Association that focus on healthy “soul food”. Hebni’s childhood obesity program K.Y.D.S. Take Charge program earned Hebni the 2010 USTA Diversity Award, and the K.Y.D.S. program received an Orlando Magic Youth Foundation Award in 2011 and 2013. In 2011, Hebni was awarded the Sapphire Award of Distinction from the Florida Blue Foundation for Hebni’s accomplishments in nutrition education programs for minority populations. Hebni received a Disney Helping Kids Shine Award in 2011, 2012, and 2013 for its K.Y.D.S. Take Charge program that reaches more than 200 minority youth each year. In 2009, with a partnership grant from the City of Orlando, Hebni opened its Nutrition Resource Center (NRC) located in the heart of the 32805 zip code area of Orlando.
