FNS
works with State Agencies to
provide food assistance and nutrition
education to low-income families.
Despite efforts to reach those in need,
low-income Latino households
remain underserved in accessing federal
nutrition programs. Latinos also
experience higher rates of food
insecurity and obesity, which can be
combated with access to nutrition
programs and good nutrition education.
|
|
We
need your help to make
sure that the Latino
community has access to
nutrition assistance
programs, so that
eligible people can make
use of them in times of
need.
The resources on this
website include
materials in both
English and Spanish that
should help enable
organizations to offer
food and nutrition
education - as well as
information about
nutrition assistance
programs - to those they
serve. We hope you
will use these tools to
help us meet the
nutrition needs of our
nation's diverse Latino
community.
