What is the purpose of the Nutrition Assistance Block Grants (NABG)?

The Nutrition Assistance Block Grants (NABG) are designed specifically to support food assistance programs within U.S. territories. This program aims to ensure that individuals and families in these regions have access to adequate nutrition, helping to alleviate food insecurity among low-income populations. The NABG supports tailored solutions for the unique challenges faced by U.S. territories, including fluctuating food supplies and the need for localized assistance programs.

Other options, while they represent valuable initiatives, do not align with the specified purpose of the NABG. For example, funding cooking classes or home gardening initiatives could enhance food security indirectly but are not the direct focus of the NABG. Similarly, providing financial literacy education is critical for overall personal financial wellness, but it falls outside the scope of nutrition assistance. The primary mission of the NABG remains centered on direct food assistance, making option B the correct choice.
