Abstract
This project aims to increase awareness of culturally appropriate, affordable, and health-conscious grocery options for low-income and immigrant communities in Norwalk, Connecticut. By identifying SNAP-eligible stores that offer halal meat and healthy food choices, the project provides tailored guidance for navigating nutrition with dietary restrictions and chronic disease risks in mind. Outreach included conversations with local store staff, food pantry coordinators, and shelter kitchen managers. The final resource is a printable guide with evidence-based ratings to support diabetes-friendly, heart-healthy, and weight-conscious choices
