Georgia Food for Health and Georgia SNAP Connection Program Manager at Wholesome Wave Georgia - Atlanta, GA, US
In Georgia, more than 1.4 million people are considered food-insecure and receive Federal Nutrition Assistance (FNA, i.e. Food Stamps, WIC) benefits. The high cost and low accessibility of fresh foods leave these 1.4 million with limited options to feed their families. Wholesome Wave Georgia (WWG) encourages us to rethink the cost, accessibility and affordability of fresh, wholesome foods in Georgia. By subsidizing the higher cost of healthy, locally-grown foods, WWG makes healthy, nourishing choices accessible for Georgia's food-insecure population.
