This federal Project Grant award, issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) under the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program (CFDA 10.331), provides $121,760 to Partners For Active Living to implement the PAL's Food Hub SNAP-Incentive Project. The project aims to increase fruit and vegetable consumption among SNAP participants in and around Spartanburg, South Carolina. Key activities include providing incentives that stretch $40 in SNAP benefits to $95 per week at the Food Hub and local farmers market, enabling SNAP participants to purchase more fresh, local produce. The project also includes evidence-based practices, promotional efforts, and community outreach to promote healthier eating and support a more sustainable local food system. This 12-month pilot program is expected to run from September 2024 through September 2025.
