Nutritional Assistance Programs are government initiatives designed to help individuals and families access healthy food. These programs aim to reduce hunger and improve nutrition among low-income populations. Examples include the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program, which provide financial support and resources for purchasing food. These programs often offer benefits in the form of electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cards, which can be used at grocery stores and farmers' markets. Additionally, they may provide education on nutrition and cooking to help participants make healthier food choices and maximize their benefits.
