Community Food and Nutrition Program
For improving the overall health and nutritional well-being of individuals
through improved preventive health care and promotion of personal
responsibility. The DHHS encourages the approach to health promotion and nutritional
responsibility with personal messages aimed at families and communities, in
various settings and environments in which individuals and groups can most
effectively be reached. The DHHS is specifically interested in improving the
health and nutrition status of low-income persons through improved access to
healthy nutritious foods or by other means. The DHHS encourages community
efforts to improve the coordination and integration of health and social
services for all low-income families, and to identify opportunities for
collaborating with other programs and services for this population.
