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 37 markets and direct-marketing farms in 2016 and has provided over $1.8 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 2016 are as follows:* GF4L served 10,000 individuals, including 2,600 new customers* GF4L customers reported purchasing more fruits (67%) and vegetables (87%) and consuming more fruits (64%) and vegetables (76%) as a result of the program* 100% of GF4L customers surveyed felt that by doubling FNA benefits, WWG made local, healthy food more affordable to them* Through GF4L,we matched $221,000 in SNAP benefits, allowing food insecure families to purchase $442,000 worth of fresh, local food* Through FVRx, participants redeemed $26,290 worth of fresh, local food* WWG enrolled 122 participants in the FVRx Program, providing fresh fruits & vegetables to 400 family members* FVRx participants reported an average increase of 0.5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day, a 12% increase in their knowledge of where to purchase and a 32% increase in how to prepare fruits and vegetables for their families * The average BMI among FVRx Program participants decreased slightly over the course of the program from 35.9 kg/m2 at baseline to 35.5 kg/m2 at follow-up* WWG screened and assisted 168 households with their SNAP application, visited 75 markets, and attended over 90 community events to educate low-income families and individuals about SNAP benefits and WWG's DVCP 517682 true true false false false false false false false false true
