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 53 markets and direct-marketing farms in 2017 and has provided over $2 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 2017 are as follows: * GF4L served 10,000 individuals, including 3,750 new customers* GF4L customers reported consuming more fruits (67%) and vegetables (78%) *An impressive 75% 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 and increasing their fruit and vegetable intake* 100% of GF4L customers surveyed felt that by doubling FNA benefits, WWG made local, healthy food more affordable to them* Through GF4L,we matched $216,000 in SNAP benefits, allowing food insecure families to purchase $432,000 worth of fresh, local food* Through FVRx, participants redeemed $88,900 worth of fresh, local food* WWG enrolled 219 participants in the FVRx Program, providing fresh fruits & vegetables to 505 family members* Overall, the BMI of FVRx participants decreased by 10.6% on average, waist circumference decreased by 5% on average, and systolic blood pressure decreased by an average 8.8%decreased by an average 2.2% from baseline to final measurement.* WWG screened and assisted 152 households with their SNAP application 602246 true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false true 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 false false false true 20 0 true 8 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 15 15 false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false true false false GA X ASHLEY SMITH 4049980051 2033 HOSEA L WILLIAMS DE SE STE 2 ATLANTA GA 30317 X TODD RICHARDS BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 AMY WEBB-GIRARD BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 KAITLIN PORTER BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 KRISTIE ABNEY BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 JAN KOZAK BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 GARNIE NYGREN BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 WOODIE JONES WISEBRAM BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 JADA BUSSEY-JONES BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROBIN STENZEL BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 LAURA NIX FRYER BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 ZACK WALLDORFF BOARD MEMBER 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 ED SEIBER President 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MYLES EMMERT Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 YVONNE DODD Secretary 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SARAH YATES SUTHERLAND Vice President 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SARA BERNEY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 0.00 X 72900 0 0 72900 0 false false false 0 20367 45650 878748 20367 944765 0 160 160 0 0 0 0 157723 20367 42499 115224 0 0 0 1060149 160 214346 214346 28000 28000 0 0 72900 24500 23900 24500 0 200192 113352 43121 43719 0 25727 13809 6441 5477 22462 11163 5629 5670 0 0 6000 6000 0 0 0 52088 50755 1333 0 1893 1893 0 0 30990 14251 16739 7665 6570 563 532 0 0 0 0 2464 2464 6476 6476 FRUIT AND VEGETABLE PRESCRIPT 47376 47376 OUTSIDE SERVICES 17933 17001 932 MARKETING & ADVERTISING 17887 17887 MERCHANDISE EXPENSE 11506 11506 47991 31730 11793 4468 813896 602246 127284 84366 386886 385343 0 80424 320006 68259 63948 0 0 0 0 4273 5613 11956 7215 7205 4741 0 0 0 0 2265 2265 549312 781916 19878 13619 14308 6918 34186 20537 X 397079 373965 118047 387414 515126 761379 549312 781916 246253 X false true X true false X 253258 352802 749657 771940 1102488 3230145 0 0 253258 352802 749657 771940 1102488 3230145 0 3230145 0 0 0 3230145 1.00000 1.00000 X 5295 3490 1805 6661 3725 2936 4741 1060149 1060149 1060149 813896 813896 813896 X X X X X false POTLUCK DINNER 159873 12742 147131 29433 VARIOUS EVENTS 18217 7625 10592 13066 178090 20367 157723 42499 42499 115224 true ATHENS FARMERS MARKET 705 SUNSET DRIVE ATHENS GA 30606 17177 0 COMMUNITY FARMERS MARKETS 508 FLAT SHOALS AVE SE ATLANTA GA 30316 31609 0 EAST POINT FARMERS MARKET PO BOX 90147 EAST POINT GA 30344 13537 0 FORSYTH FARMERS MARKET BULL ST AND EAST PARK AVE SAVANNAH GA 31401 24583 0 FREEDOM FARMERS MARKET 453 FREEDOM PKWY NE ATLANTA GA 30307 8326 0 FRESH MARTA MARKETS 680 LEE ST SW ATLANTA GA 30310 11116 0 HEALTHCARE CENTRAL GEORGIA 300 MULBERRY ST STE 603 MACON GA 31201 7573 0 INTERNATIONAL CITY FARMERS WATSON BLVD AND MULBERRY ST WARNER ROBINS GA 31093 30619 0 PEACHTREE ROAD FARMERS MARKET 2744 PEACHTREE RD NW ATLANTA GA 30305 8626 0 RED EARTH ORGANIC 19556 HIGHWAY 18 E ZEBULON GA 30295 9100 0 ROCKMART FARMERS MARKET 108 CHURCH STREET ROCKMART GA 30153 5958 0 WAYNE COUNTY FARMERS MARKET 660 N 4TH STREET JESUP GA 31545 5519 0 0 12 PARTNER MARKET SCHOLARSHIPS 14 28000 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.
