Connecticut Foodshare is releasing a new board-approved Nutrition Policy during National Nutrition Month (recognized each March).

This is an important time to highlight this new policy because access to healthy, nutritious food is a challenge for families who struggle with food insecurity. As a result, people visiting food pantries often experience an additional burden of diet-related chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes.

Connecticut Foodshare is taking action by adopting a nutrition policy that will prioritize nutritious foods being provided to the people we serve.

“We are in a position to expand access to nutrition for families, and with food costs continuing to rise, we are here to help people who can’t always afford the healthy choice on their limited budgets,” said Jason Jakubowski, CEO.
