April marks National Minority Health Month; organizers urge healthy choices for SNAP recipients

April marks National Minority Health Month, campaign organizers said. The effort this year highlights how good nutrition can lead to better health outcomes, organizers said.

Organizers urged recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program to use benefits to purchase fiber-rich, low-sugar and vitamin-rich foods for their households, saying those choices can support improved health.

They said the campaign aims to encourage practical food choices that help families manage their health and well-being.

Organizers also promoted the message on social media with the hashtag #NationalMinorityHealthMonth, they said.
