National Nutrition Month:
SNAP & WIC Help Families!
 The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides money for food to families in need, so there is less worry about food running out at home.

Are you worried that you won’t have enough food to last the whole month? Have you skipped meals because there wasn’t enough food in your home? These programs can help! From your friends at Cambridge in Motion, a program of the Cambridge Public Health Department, and CPSD Food & Nutrition Services.
