March is National Nutrition Month®
Food Connects Us
This year’s theme is “Food Connects Us,” which addresses the idea of food as a connection to our cultures, families, and friends. Sharing a meal is an opportunity to learn more about food and its preparation, as well as create bonding relationships with those who you are with. Health, memories, traditions, seasons, and access can all impact our relationship with food.
We’ve got you covered!
Each week Louisiana WIC will feature new tips for you and your family.
