The Eastern Highlands Health District (EHHD) is helping the Connecticut Department of Social Services promote the Healthy Food Donation List.  This list is based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and suggests healthier options to donate.  Some Connecticut families rely on food pantries as a main source of food. Many people have health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure that require special diets. Food pantry clients often face choosing between food, medicine, and other expenses. We want to make sure that the food pantry offers a variety of choices that are nutritious, delicious, and will meet their health needs.
