SNAP-Ed Summits Bring Awareness to Hunger and Food Insecurity
•February 28, 2024•
One in eleven people in Illinois struggle with food insecurity daily, including one in nine children, according to Feeding America https://www.feedingamerica.org/hunger-in-america/illinois. When families are hungry, making a healthy food choice is not always an easy choice.
To increase healthier outcomes for communities, SNAP Education https://extension.illinois.edu/ccdms/food-and-nutrition at University of Illinois Extension https://extension.illinois.edu and the Chicago Partnership for Health Promotion https://cphp.uic.edu/ will host two regional Illinois Hunger and Health Summits to catalyze collaboration among local, public and regional organizations working together to address food insecurity and its impact on health.
