nutrition programs
Organized meal assistance
Nutrition programs are organized efforts to improve dietary health in a population, typically through education, food assistance, or policy.
Government programs like school lunch initiatives, food stamps, and WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) provide direct support to those in need.
