SNAP-Ed funding is on the chopping block.

Congress is voting on a federal budget would eliminate SNAP-Ed-the only USDA program that uses nutrition education, health promotion, and public health approaches to increase healthy eating and physical activity-later TODAY or tomorrow.

Vetri Community Partnership sees the impact of SNAP-Ed every single day, reaching 20,000 people annually while delivering nutrition education to low-income individuals.

Here's how you can help! Please consider calling your legislators TODAY to protect SNAP-Ed. Go to the link in our bio for all resources.

Girl, the tariffs? Wild. But eating nutritious foods is still possible!

Rising food costs are real — but that doesn’t mean you can’t nourish yourself and your family. Here are some tips on how to eat well on a budget!

Adopt an “any vegetable, any way” mindset:
• Fresh, frozen, and canned produce all offer key nutrients and go on sale more often, making them a budget-friendly option.

Plan your meals around weekly sales:
• Check store ads before you shop.
• Aim for at least 2 fruits, 2 veggies, and a lean protein each week for variety and balance.

Take advantage of free or low-cost cooking classes (like our Community Cooking Classes!):
• Learn skills that help you cook confidently and affordably at home.
• Home-cooked meals are healthier *and* easier on your wallet.

Make the freezer your friend:
• Freeze fresh veggies before they spoil.
• Save and reheat leftovers to reduce food waste and stretch your grocery haul.
