The program aims to improve dietary health and wellness of low-income, rural individuals with diet-related health conditions like diabetes, heart disease and obesity in Stoneville, Mississippi through enhancing access to affordable produce. As additional COVID relief funds were appropriated to the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program, this award will generally support critical food security needs in low-income communities and bolster resilience amid the pandemic.
