Healthy Snack Day

Make Every Day Healthy Snack Day is a state-wide campaign celebrated locally with our Alameda County communities of all ages to learn about healthy and satisfying snacks. It focuses on how healthy snacking can be simple, tasty, and affordable. Healthy snacking is a powerful tool to reduce the onset of disease; people with healthy eating patterns live longer and are at lower risk for serious health problems.
