FNS supports the modernization of the WIC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program and the Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program.
WIC has been serving families for more than 50 years. To ensure that WIC continues to get results, the program must modernize.
Since FY 2022, FNS has awarded over $9 million in grants to 37 State agencies to support WIC FMNP eSolutions.
FNS awarded grants to WIC state agencies to tackle the WIC shopping experience from every angle—from improving in store signage and cashier training, to working toward online shopping.
The FMNP is associated with the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, generally known as WIC. The WIC program provides supplemental foods, health care referrals and nutrition education; including, breastfeeding promotion and support at no cost to low-income pregnant, breastfeeding and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children up to 5 years of age, who are found to be at nutritional risk.
This webinar will focus on strategies for ways to advertise and market farmers markets to SNAP clients.
