The US Department of Agriculture Northeast Regional Office in Boston, MA, is an essential arm of the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS). Dedicated to increasing food security and reducing hunger, this office partners with cooperating organizations to provide access to food, healthy diets, and nutrition education for children and low-income individuals. Their efforts support American agriculture and inspire public confidence.
Administering various nutrition assistance programs, the USDA Food and Nutrition Service works tirelessly to ensure that no eligible American goes hungry. From infants to the elderly, their 16 programs form America's nutrition safety net. They offer support to seniors, babies, young children, women, school-age children, and Native Americans, providing healthy foods, nutrition education, and health care referrals.
With a focus on accessibility and promoting healthy food habits, the FNS also prioritizes nutrition education for individuals of all ages. Their initiatives aim to reduce food insecurities and ensure that nutritious foods reach those in need, both in the classroom and at home.
