🥕 Rising Grocery Costs Make Healthy Eating Harder for Finger Lakes Families

Our Food & Nutrition in the Finger Lakes survey asked families about nutrition, the challenges they face, and what could help.

We’re listening to what our communities need and using what we learn to help families access healthy foods and build healthy habits.

One way Pivital is taking action is through A Healthy Hand, a family nutrition program that provides nutrition education, cooking support, and grocery assistance.
