WWG strengthens local food communities by empowering networks of farmers markets, farm stands, brick-and-mortar retailers, mobile markets and community partners to increase access to fresh, healthy, locally grown food choices. WWG creates access to and promotes the consumption of fresh, healthy, locally grown food choices in low-income and low-access communities where fresh, healthy, locally grown food choices are sparse, expensive and often-low quality. Through our (1) Georgia Fresh for Less (GF4L) program and (2) Georgia Food for Health (GF4H) program more Georgians gain access to fresh, healthy, locally grown food. GF4L is a unique approach to creating access to and affordability of fresh, healthy, locally grown food for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients in Georgia. GF4Ls goals are to (1) increase the redemption of SNAP benefits at farmers markets, farm stands, brick-and-mortar retailers, and mobile markets and (2) increase the consumption of fresh, healthy, locally grown food among Georgias SNAP recipients. GF4Ls execution is simple: every SNAP dollar spent at a WWG farmers markets, farm stands, brick-and-mortar retailers, or mobile market is matched dollar-for-dollar for the SNAP recipient and the local farmer or local food retailer. WWG grew from three partner farmers markets in 2009 to a network of 68 farmers markets, farm stands, brick-and-mortar retailers, and mobile markets in 2019, and provided over $3 million in fresh, healthy, locally grown food to Georgias food insecure families.GF4H promotes access to fruits and vegetables and provides healthy cooking classes to low-income and low-access communities through partnerships with healthcare providers, community organizations, and fresh produce retailers. G4FH is a proven, evidence-based model of preventative healthcare with a demonstrated impact, resulting in healthier communities, food systems, and local economies. GF4Hs goal is to improve health outcomes for patients with diet-related illnesses, such as obesity and diabetes, through increased fruit and vegetable consumption and regular contact with their physician or healthcare professionals such as a dietician. In 2019, GF4H program sites were located in Atlanta, Georgia and Augusta, Georgia with 258 program participants. A summary of our program accomplishments in 2019 are as follows: ? GF4L served 10,095 individuals with 26% representing new customers ? Through GF4L, WWG matched $282,889 in SNAP benefits allowing food insecure families to purchase $565,798 worth of fresh, healthy, locally grown food ? WWG enrolled 284 program participants in the GF4H program and provided fresh fruits and vegetables to 637 family members ? The GF4H participants reported an average weight loss of 1.81 pounds and an average decrease of 0.04% in hemoglobin A1c measures ? WWG screened and assisted 318 households with SNAP applications 562337 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 10 0 true 11 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 18 18 false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false true false false GA X SELIM IKIZLER 4702388441 777 CLEVELAND AVENUE SW STE 400 ATLANTA GA 30315 X WILLIAM SELLERS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 0.00 31053 0 0 DENISE BLAKE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 0.00 27700 0 0 TODD RICHARDS BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 PAUL CALVERT BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 TERRI HIRSH BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH JUMP BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 BEN TOMPKINS BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOSH BERMAN BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 REBECCA WALLACE BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES IRUNGU BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 SARAH YATES SUTHERLAND BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHRIS WILLETT BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 ZACK WALLDORFF BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID YANKEY BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 TONY RIFFEL BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 ASHLEY SMITH BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 ED SEIBER VICE CHAIR 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MYLES EMMERT Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KRISTIE ABNEY CHAIR 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 YVONNE DODD Secretary 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 58753 0 false false false 0 17103 47540 463338 21130 527981 0 2683 2683 0 0 0 0 105942 17103 38648 67294 0 0 0 597958 2683 169066 169066 8600 8600 0 0 58753 40437 9651 8665 0 250704 151844 46295 52565 0 47497 32023 7820 7654 23856 15440 3192 5224 0 0 8500 8500 0 0 0 17153 14953 2200 0 2384 2384 0 0 33623 24833 8790 4859 3892 794 173 0 0 0 0 1740 1740 6827 6827 FRUIT AND VEGETABLE PRESCRIPT 70119 70119 SUPPLIES 15172 7013 7433 726 Printing and Publications 14244 11490 2754 OUTSIDE SERVICES 10325 6461 624 3240 30326 21119 5548 3659 773748 562337 124551 86860 273515 212944 0 140986 78044 51602 0 0 0 0 0 6165 3684 12956 10911 2785 2045 0 0 0 0 2265 2836 477318 299553 16765 18522 4482 750 21247 19272 X 299528 210281 156543 70000 456071 280281 477318 299553 -175790 X false true X true false X 749657 771940 1102488 556458 633907 3814450 0 0 749657 771940 1102488 556458 633907 3814450 0 3814450 0 0 0 3814450 1.00000 1.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 5295 4800 495 7661 6111 1550 2045 X X X X X false POTLUCK DINNER 114846 13677 101169 30322 PICNIC IN THE PARK 8199 3426 4773 8326 123045 17103 105942 38648 38648 67294 true ATHENS FARMERS MARKET 705 SUNSET DRIVE ATHENS GA 30606 12202 0 COMMUNITY FARMERS MARKETS 508 FLAT SHOALS AVE SE ATLANTA GA 30316 22940 0 FORSYTH FARMERS MARKET BULL ST AND EAST PARK AVE SAVANNAH GA 31401 22616 0 FREEDOM FARMERS MARKET 453 FREEDOM PKWY NE ATLANTA GA 30307 10270 0 HEALTHCARE CENTRAL GEORGIA 300 MULBERRY ST STE 603 MACON GA 31201 10206 0 INTERNATIONAL CITY FARMERS WATSON BLVD AND MULBERRY ST WARNER ROBINS GA 31093 13579 0 LOCAL LANDS 1101-L HILLCREST PKWY 327 DUBLIN GA 31021 9066 0 PEACHTREE ROAD FARMERS MARKET 2744 PEACHTREE RD NW ATLANTA GA 30305 5913 0 WAYNE COUNTY FARMERS MARKET 660 N 4TH STREET JESUP GA 31545 7447 0 0 9 PARTNER MARKET SCHOLARSHIPS 7 8600 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process FORM 990 AND SUPPORTING SCHEDULES ARE REVIEWED BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND THE ORGANIZATION'S EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
