The Hoke County First-in-Health 2020 Task Force hosted a special event to celebrate the success of the HokeFit “Eat Your Colors” workplace wellness challenge Thursday, Jan. 12 at the FirstHealth Family Care Center in Raeford. The HokeFit program encourages a healthy lifestyle among Hoke County’s workforce. During the “Eat Your Colors” challenge, participants earned points by recording what they ate on the HokeFit.org website and by eating at least one serving from each of the five food color groups each day. Employees who reached 300 or more points received prizes at the celebration event. Burlington Industries was recognized for having the greatest percentage of employee participation in the challenge. Pictured (front, from left) are Burlington employees Monica McLaughlin, Olive Morris, Odessa McLinnaham, Julia Moore, Sharon McEachin, Deborah Maynor and (back, from left) Tim McLamb, Angela Bease and Eddie McMillian. The next phase of HokeFit, "Ready, Set, Walk!,” begins with a special kickoff event at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 28, at the Hoke County Recreation Complex.
