WWG strengthens local food communities by empowering networks of farmers to facilitate access to and awareness of healthy food choices.WWG creates access to and promotes the consumption of fresh, wholesome food in underserved, low-income communities where healthy food is sparse, expensive and often low-quality. Through our (1) Georgia Fresh For Less (GF4L) Program and (2) Fruit & Vegetable Prescription Program (FVRx), more Georgians gain access to fresh, healthy and locally grown food.GF4L is a unique approach to creating access to and affordability of healthy food for FNA recipients in Georgia. The goals of GF4L are to increase (1) the redemption of FNA benefits spent at WWG partner farmers markets and farms and (2) the consumption of fresh, local food among FNA recipients in Georgia. The execution of GF4L is simple: Every FNA dollar spent at a WWG partner farmers market or farm is matched, dollar for dollar, for the shopper and the farmer. WWG has grown from three partner farmers markets in 2009 to a network of 57 markets and direct-marketing farms in 2018 and has provided over $2.5 million in fresh, local food to Georgias food insecure families.The FVRx Program promotes affordable access to fruits and vegetables and healthy eating in underserved communities through partnerships with healthcare providers, community organizations and fresh produce retailers. The program is a proven, evidence-based model of preventative healthcare with a demonstrated impact, resulting in healthier communities, food systems, and local economies. The goal of the FVRx Program is to improve health outcomes for patients with diet-related illnesses through increased fruit and vegetable consumption and regular contact with their physician.A summary of our program accomplishments in 2018 are as follows:* GF4L served 9,650 individuals, including 3,000 new customers* GF4L customers reported consuming more fruits and vegetables (76%) and being able to try new fruits and vegetables (87%) as a result of the program. *Over 50% of GF4L participants reported experiencing health benefits (i.e. weight loss, improved blood pressure, increased energy) as a result of doubling their FNA benefits at farmers markets.* 98% of GF4L customers with children stated that by doubling FNA benefits, WWG made local, healthy food more affordable and accesible to their families.* Through GF4L,we matched $177,000 in SNAP benefits, allowing food insecure families to purchase $354,000 worth of fresh, local food* Through FVRx, participants redeemed $58,400 worth of fresh, local food* WWG enrolled 243 participants in the FVRx Program, providing fresh fruits & vegetables to 653 family members* Overall, the BMI of FVRx participants decreased by 1.4% on average, waist circumference decreased by 3.3% on average, and hemoglobin A1c measures in diabetes patients decreased by 4%.* WWG screened and assisted 190 households with their SNAP application 575605 true
