The food package is designed to improve the health of recipients by supplementing their diets with nutritious USDA commodity foods that are designed to provide protein, calcium, iron, vitamins A and C.
Vaccine Equity Initiative
Enrichment Services Program’s Vaccine Equity Initiative brings local health partners, community leaders, and nonprofit organizations together to address racial and/or ethnic disparities in adult vaccination coverage. This project will focus on Russell County, Alabama and Troup and Stewart counties in Georgia. Some of the many inequities in social determinants of health that may increase risk of severe illness from COVID-19 include access to quality healthcare, general health status, education, economic stability, and many other factors. However, access to other vaccines, such as the flu vaccine, also remains critical in these communities to maintain their health and well-being. To learn more, click here.
