Launch public education campaigns to raise awareness about food assistance programs and food insecurity issues, addressing stigma while providing resources for navigating applications. Ensure cohesive and effective communication, including language access and translation services, through continued funding for a Food Access Coordinator position within the NH Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS) to unify messaging and outreach across separately managed food assistance programs. Support local food access coalitions to customize and implement campaigns and leverage trusted local relationships for awareness and application assistance.
