Wholesome Wave Georgia
Pittsburgh
Wholesome Wave Georgia (WWG) makes fresh, healthy, locally-grown produce affordable and available to all Georgians.
We steward a network of farmers, neighbors, and community partners who believe affordable access to fresh, healthy, locally-grown food creates a more inclusive, nourishing, and loving food system in which everyone prospers.
Wholesome Wave Georgia believes that all Georgians in need should have access to fresh, healthy, locally-grown food choices.
In Georgia, over 1.4 million people are considered food-insecure and receive federal nutrition assistance including SNAP benefits.
The high cost and low accessibility of fresh foods leave these households with limited options to feed their families. Food insecurity is linked to poverty, obesity, and other diet-related illnesses. The effect of food insecurity on America’s families is evident: approximately 65% of adults and 34% of children (ages 2 to 19) are overweight or obese.
