Created in 2015 by the Food Marketing Institute (FMI) Foundation on behalf of the nation’s food retailers, National Family Meals Month™ (NFMM) dedicates the month of September to encourage families to enjoy one more meal at home each week. Family meals eaten at home strengthen the family’s social fabric and promote healthier eating. With the proven benefits of combating obesity and deterring unhealthy behaviors such as substance abuse, family meals contribute to a healthier community and nation. In addition, the FMI Foundation’s promotion of NFMM encourages food retailers, suppliers and community collaborators to provide solutions for more family meals at home.
