September is Family Meals Month

What is National Family Meals Month?
Each September, our country celebrates National Family Meals Month™ - a nationwide event designed to support families in enjoying more meals together using items purchased at the grocery store and, as a result, reap the many health and social benefits of doing so. 

The aim is simple: commit to staying strong with family meals. You can do this by pledging to have one more meal together, at home, per week. We know this isn't always easily done. That’s where we come in. You bring the desire and we bring the support. 
September is the perfect month to join in the movement and to commit to one more meal at home per week this September for #FamilyMealsMonth!
