Today is . Food shouldn’t be an impossible choice. Food insecurity refers to the USDA’s measure of “Lack of access, at times, to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members and limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate foods.”

Food should not be a trade-off between basic needs such as housing or medical bills. Household food insecurity effects the overall health of the whole family.
The Maternal Wellness program advocates for a food secure household. If you or someone you know needs help, send us a message, or give us a call and our Care Navigators will assist with finding food or resources 😊🧡
