Working Together for a Healthier Community
People are more successful at making lasting healthy changes when our communities support healthy lifestyles. The Family Nutrition Program offers free nutrition education classes for SNAP-eligible youth in Florida and works with local partners to support healthy food and beverage options and opportunities for physical activity.
