Partner Spotlight Connecticut Foodshare CHNCT partners with Connecticut Foodshare to improve the health outcomes of underserved populations. To reach HUSKY Health members who utilize the services of Connecticut Foodshare, CHNCT’s Community Engagement Team travels with Connecticut Foodshare mobile pantries when delivering food. CHNCT sets up information tables where Community Engagement Team representatives will provide members one-on-one assistance with understanding available benefits, finding a PCP, scheduling their first appointment, and connecting them with community
resources such as temporary shelter services, assistance with WIC, etc. In support of Connecticut Foodshare’s focus on healthy eating, CHNCT invites our Community Engagement Health Educators to exhibit our nutrition education program, Fat Attack™. This exhibit demonstrates the harmful effects of consuming too much fatty food and suggests healthier alternatives.
