Job description

ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW

We work towards our mission through our core programs: Fresh for Less, Food for Health, and SNAP Connection.

Our Food for Health (F4H) program was the Southeast’s first produce prescription program to start using healthy, locally grown food to help treat diet-related illnesses such as hypertension and diabetes.

• The F4H program works with community-based clinics to expose program participants to education on how to prepare healthy, locally grown food, where to shop for healthy, locally grown food, and how to continue healthy eating practices beyond the program.
• The F4H program strives to be a robust program within Wholesome Wave Georgia with partner sites around the state. Currently, there are 3 partner sites in Athens, Atlanta, and Augusta.

• Collaboration: We depend on each other and our community to fight food insecurity and support local agriculture in Georgia.
• Accountability: We remain accountable both individually and as an organization to uphold our mission and vision with the utmost transparency.
• Inclusive: We design food assistance programs and processes with equity and dignity for everyone and are proud to be representative of the neighbors, families, and communities we serve.
