UnidosUS submitted comments in response to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Proposed Rule to remove barriers to online ordering and internet-based transactions in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).
We urge the USDA to advance equitable access to healthy foods for WIC participants and enhance the overall shopping experience for WIC households.
UnidosUS submitted comments outlining our key recommendations to advance nutrition security, progress health equity, and increase choice among WIC participants.
The letter focuses on the recommendation that all WIC breakfast cereals should meet a minimum standard for whole grain richness, explaining why implementing that recommendation could make a big difference combatting high rates of diabetes, obesity, and other food-related chronic diseases in Hispanic communities.
UnidosUS polling has shown that Latino voters rank the cost of food and basic living expenses as one of the single most important concerns elected officials must address.
Since its inception in 2021, Esperanza Hope for All (EHFA), an institution-wide initiative launched by UnidosUS, has been at the forefront of mitigating the health, economic and educational impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on Latino communities.
Your contribution will help fund our work to supporting
