Feeding America, Kentucky’s Heartland is encouraging area residents to reflect on how food choices impact health during National Nutrition Month.
FAKH says the organization’s mission is not only to provide food for those in need but also to ensure distributed food helps create a balanced and nutritious diet. The organization says it strives to provide healthy food options for individuals and families facing food insecurity through school pantries, distribution events, and partnerships with local organizations.
National Nutrition Month focuses attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits. The organization says healthy food access is a key step in preventing chronic diseases such as heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. Simple changes like reducing carbohydrates and small changes to diet and exercise can have lasting benefits.
FAKH says you can support their mission during the month of March through Walmart and Sam’s Club’s Fight Hunger, Spark Change campaign. Now through March 31 participants can donate at store checkouts, purchase participating products, or donate directly through the organization’s website.
