March is National Nutrition Month, a great time to learn about the connection between WIC and SNAP benefits, and improved nutrition for recipients.
Did you know that households who receive WIC and SNAP benefits are able to purchase healthier food options, such as fruits and vegetables, that they might not be able to afford otherwise?
Watch February Parent University Webinar
Last month Hunger Free America's Child Nutrition department, in partnership with the New York City Department of Education, held its first webinar in a series for parents. February's webinar focused on the WIC program (Women, Infants, & Children.)
Did you know that March is also Women's History Month? Hunger Free America will be highlighting influential women who fought for equal access to nutritious food, and fought against poverty and gender inequality throughout history, and in the present day.
Join Hunger Free America on Tuesday, March 8th at 11am ET, for a virtual panel discussion with Priya Fielding-Singh of her book, "How the Other Half Eats: The Untold Story of Food and Inequality in America."
From her years of field research, sociologist and ethnographer Fielding-Singh brings us into the kitchens of dozens of families to explore how- and why- we eat the way we do. Her book is timely and important, and was recently featured in the New York Times.
