This article describes changes made to the menu served during the 2015 Marshallese May Day celebration in Northwest Arkansas, an annual Marshallese community event. The menu changes were part of a community-based participatory collaborative to improve nutrition and health in the Marshallese community. The 2015 May Day menu significantly reduced the 2014 May Day menu amount of calories, fat, carbohydrates, sodium, and cholesterol of foods offered by incorporating healthier ingredients and reducing portion sizes. Compared to the 2014 May Day menu, the total caloric value of the revised menu was reduced by more than 63%, declining from 1369 calories to 499 calories. The menu change affected an estimated 1,800 Marshallese in attendance for the 2015 May Day celebration. The successful implementation of the menu changes, which resulted in reductions in calories, fat, carbohydrates, sodium, and cholesterol offered to participants demonstrates the effectiveness of community-based participatory approaches in the implementation of policy, systems, and environmental strategies to promote health.
