Brighter Bites Returns to Washington, D.C. This Week!

Meetings on Capitol Hill last month resulted in the U.S. House Committee on Agriculture inviting Brighter Bites to testify at a hearing on the Past, Present, and Future of SNAP: Evaluating Effectiveness and Outcomes in Nutrition Education. The hearing, which takes place on Wednesday, June 22 at 10:00am ET, will be the first Hill hearing on SNAP nutrition education in years.

Brighter Bites Co-Founder Dr. Shreela Sharma, a professor of epidemiology at UTHealth School of Public Health, will testify about the creation and development of the Brighter Bites model and the robust research infrastructure she uses to evaluate the program and the families who participate in it.
