WE ARE… BUILDING HEALTHY MILITARY COMMUNITIES
Virtual Assemblies
December 8 – 10, 2020
These assemblies will provide education and information to single service members and those with families on
food insecurity. We will highlight programs that address food insecurity and resources to assist those who find
themselves in a food insecure environment. We will also have a demonstration on how to prepare healthy meals on
a budget. Please register for one or all of the Assemblies at: https://go.usa.gov/x7HJj
