Grant Overview
Connecticut's low-income families face significant barriers to healthy nutrition, with over 12% of households experiencing food insecurity. According to the Connecticut Department of Public Health, low-income communities have limited access to healthy food options and nutrition education. Who faces this barrier in Connecticut? Families living in urban areas such as Hartford and Bridgeport are disproportionately affected, as are those in rural areas with limited grocery store access. The state's high cost of living exacerbates these challenges. How does this funding address nutrition barriers in Connecticut? Grant funds will support educational programs focused on healthy cooking and food choices, promoting healthier lifestyles and combating obesity. Implementation involves collaboration with community kitchens and local health departments to offer hands-on workshops and resources to families. Connecticut's infrastructure, including its network of community kitchens, will be leveraged to support program delivery. Unlike neighboring states, Connecticut's high population density requires targeted outreach to urban communities. ## Nutrition Education in Connecticut's Urban Communities ## Addressing Food Insecurity in Connecticut ## Connecticut's Community Kitchen Network
