Author: Sarah Gilliam
Planning Unit: Elliott County CES
Major Program: Accessing Nutritious Foods (general)
Outcome: Initial Outcome
According to state records Women Infants and Children “WIC” Farmers Market voucher redemption has been exceptionally low in Elliott County. WIC Coordinator contacted Elliott County Famers Market to sell produce at the Health Department on the day WIC Farmers Market Vouchers were handed out. The Farmers Market then requested EFNEP and SNAP-Ed Assistant to set with them. SNAP-Ed Assistant handed out recipes on how to prepare fresh fruits and vegetables along with a food demonstration and samples of Farmers Market Salsa. As a result of the collaboration between all parties for the one day event SNAP-Ed Assistant had a total of 29 adults and 35 youth sample the recipe and take home ways to prepare fruits and vegetables. 72 vouchers were redeemed that day which came to $288.00.
