New Partnerships for Healthier Corner Stores
November 17
Nutrition assistance programs like WIC and SNAP not only help low-income families afford healthy meals, they're also an economic boon for participating retailers. Corner store owners who become authorized WIC and SNAP vendors will need to stock healthier items for everyone in the neighborhood, and they'll benefit from new sources of revenue. We'll talk about how advocates can work effectively with store owners to maximize the benefits of nutrition assistance programs for consumers and retailers alike.
