Nutrition Month

A person holds a clear plastic bag filled with apples, surrounded by more bags of apples on a table, suggesting a market or food distribution setting.

March is Nutrition Month

At Second Harvest, we believe everyone should have equitable access to nutritious food and resources. Each March, we highlight the link between hunger and health.

When individuals or families experience food insecurity, they often rely on low-cost, low-nutrition foods. Combined with the stress of financial strain, this increases the risk of chronic disease. Managing an illness then drains resources further, making it even harder to afford healthy food, which perpetuates the cycle.

This March, we’re raising awareness of the link between food insecurity and chronic disease while working to provide more nutritious food to our community through our programs and partnerships.
