Q2 FutureMe Theme: Food as Fuel

Our 2025 well-being focus on nutrition continues with a spotlight on Food as Fuel, our second-quarter theme.
 
Nutritious foods can propel us to thrive, offering brain- and body-boosting benefits. We’ll look at how eating habits and specific foods can help your employees keep energized throughout the day, enhance their workouts, brighten their moods and more.

Be sure to check out new resources—available on the FutureMe page in the BA Guide—designed to educate and inspire your employees on nutrition’s important role in fueling optimal health.

Resources include a video overview of our Food as Fuel theme, infographics that you can post online or print, and our webinar, “Food and Mood: Supporting Mental Health Through Nutrition.” There are two options available to view the live webinar, which is offered May 7. Register your cooperative for the 1 p.m. Central session and reserve a room for your employees to attend, or participants can sign up individually for the 7 p.m. Central session. Note that the webinar will not be recorded or available to view after May 7.

With May observed as Mental Health Awareness Month, you’ll also find a video and infographic highlighting NRECA’s mental health programs and resources in the BA Guide’s Resources section to share at your co-op.

Finally, be sure to register your co-op for the Make Your Move challenge by emailing futureme@nreca.coop by April 11. Designed to encourage ongoing, moderate-intensity exercise, the challenge runs May 14 – June 10. If your co-op is enrolled in a FutureMe rewards tier, you are automatically eligible to participate and do not need to register for the challenge.

If you have any questions or would like support for your co-op’s well-being program and strategy, email the NRECA FutureMe team at futureme@nreca.coop.
