Food Assistance Programs are government initiatives designed to help individuals and families access nutritious food. These programs aim to reduce hunger and improve food security for low-income households. Examples include the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). These programs provide financial support or food directly to eligible participants. They often include benefits like food stamps, vouchers, or direct food distribution. By offering assistance, these programs help ensure that everyone has the opportunity to maintain a healthy diet, which is essential for overall well-being.
