About

THROUGH OUR HEALTHY FOOD INCENTIVES WORK, WE UTILIZE LOCAL AND STATE FUNDING TO DRAW ADDITIONAL FEDERAL FUNDING INTO COLORADO SO PARTICIPANTS OF GOVERNMENT-FUNDED FOOD PROGRAMS HAVE INCREASED ACCESS TO HEALTHY, COLORADO-GROWN PRODUCTS. OUR LARGEST HEALTHY INCENTIVE PROGRAM IS THE DOUBLE UP FOOD BUCKS PROGRAM WHICH ENABLES PARTICIPANTS IN THE SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (SNAP) TO USE INCENTIVES TO PURCHASE COLORADO-GROWN PRODUCE AT MORE THAN 100 FARMERS MARKETS, SOME GROCERY STORES, AND INNOVATIVE LOCAL RETAILERS (INCLUDING COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE, FOOD CO-OPERATIVES, CORNER STORES, AND URBAN AGRICULTURE MARKETPLACES) ACROSS THE STATE. SNAP FAMILIES CAN RECEIVE VOUCHERS FOR UP TO 20 PER DAY TOWARD THE PURCHASE OF COLORADO GROWN FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. IN 2019, OVER 246,000 IN DOUBLE UP INCENTIVES WERE REDEEMED AND OVER 600 FARMERS PARTICIPATED IN THE PROGRAM. THIS PROGRAM HELPS SNAP CUSTOMERS WITH INCREASED ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOOD, GIVES PRODUCERS ACCESS TO NEW AND/OR EXPANDED MARKETS FOR THEIR PRODUCTS, AND CONTRIBUTES TO THE LOCAL ECONOMY. IMPORTANTLY, 84% OF CUSTOMERS PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM REPORT THEY ARE EATING MORE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. THE PROGRAM IS ENHANCED THROUGH STRONG PARTNERSHIPS WITH COOKING MATTERS WHICH OFFERS ON-SITE NUTRITION EDUCATION AT FARMERS MARKETS, COLORADO FARMERS MARKET ASSOCIATION, BOULDER COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH, AND THE COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF HUMANS SERVICES WHICH ALSO FACILITATED A POST CARD MARKETING CAMPAIGN FOR THE PROGRAM IN DENVER. LIVEWELL UTILIZES COMMUNITY FOOD ADVOCATES TO CREATE A GRASSROOTS AND SUSTAINABLE INCENTIVE PROGRAM BY WORKING WITH SNAP PARTICIPANTS AS KEY AMBASSADORS AND DECISION MAKERS IN PROGRAM OUTREACH AND PLANNING, WITH A GOAL OF INCREASING LIFE-LONG FRUIT AND VEGETABLE CONSUMPTION BY SNAP PARTICIPANTS. ALSO INCLUDED IN OUR HEALTHY INCENTIVES PROGRAM WAS THE COLORADO NUTRITION INCENTIVE PROGRAM (CNIP) WHICH DISTRIBUTED 190,000 TO FARMERS THROUGHOUT THE STATE TO PURCHASE COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE SHARES TO BE DISTRIBUTED TO PARTICIPANTS IN THE WOMEN, INFANTS, AND CHILDREN (WIC) PROGRAM AND OLDER ADULTS IN THE OLDER AMERICANS ACT CONGREGATE NUTRITION PROGRAM. CNIP DISTRIBUTED 513 COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE SHARES TO NEARLY 1,700 INDIVIDUALS IN 10 COUNTIES THROUGH 10 WIC PROGRAMS AND FOUR OLDER ADULT PROGRAMS. PROGRAM EVALUATION DEMONSTRATED THAT 91% OF WIC PARTICIPANTS AND 84% OF OLDER ADULT PARTICIPANTS REPORTED AN INCREASE IN FOOD SECURITY THROUGH THE PROGRAM.
