Improving Food Security in Kinship/Grandfamilies 

With the significant increase in the cost of food, some grandfamilies and kinship families, especially those on fixed incomes, may not have ample food to feed their growing family.  Federal nutrition programs can help kin caregivers stretch limited budgets, and ensure their families thrive. The Grandfamilies & Kinship Support Network will host a webinar on September 10, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. ET to explore the array of federal nutrition programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), school meals, and afterschool and summer food programs, that are available to help kinship/grandfamilies get the nutrition they need. This webinar will equip attendees with practical information and resources that can be used to connect families to these nutrition programs.
