Support social programs that increase access to nutritious food

National programs like WIC (Women, Infants and Children), plus lots of regional and local programs work to ensure equitable access to fresh nutritious foods for all. Find a local organization and volunteer. Learn about proposed legislation that could affect financing for these groups and write a letter to your elected official in support of the program. Vote for individuals who take a strong stance on increasing nutrition. Do you work for an organization that can take a stand on social issues, proposed legislation or candidates running for elected office? Schedule a meeting with a candidate or elected official for your organization to express its support for increasing access to nutritious foods for all. Voices banding together will turn the tide of chronic disease.
