March is National Nutrition Month when people across the country recognize the importance of eating healthy food. However, barriers to food equity still stand in the way of many Michigan families.

Across Michigan, 38% of Michigan households struggled to afford basic necessities, including food.

Together, we can do something about it. During the month of March, Go Orange with Kids’ Food Basket to raise awareness for childhood hunger and provide healthy, nourishing meals to our community.
