PALM BEACH, Fla. -- First Lady Michelle Obama will be making a stop in Palm Beach Thursday, after she visits Tampa to announce a new health partnership with Goya, the largest Hispanic-owned food company in America.

In Palm Beach, the first lady will headline fundraisers for the Democratic National Committee. She will also be visiting Sarasota before she makes her stop in Palm Beach County.

In Tampa, Obama will join Bob Unanue, the president of Goya, at the National Supermarket.

Goya is now committed to being a National Strategic Partner for the U.S. Department of Agriculture to promote Mi Plato (my plate).

Mi Plato will be used as an educational tool to encourage Hispanic families to make healthy meal choices and serve food in appropriate portions.

Obama will also join leading Latino organizations to promote health and wellness in their communities. The event is not open to the public.
