Federal Food Purchasing Assistance Programs and Your Community
At ECRS we seek to form a partnership and connection with our retailers and in turn, our retailers seek to do the same in the communities they serve. In this edition of the Learning Lounge, we will focus on what you can do as a retailer to implement and maintain various federal food purchasing assistance programs to better serve your community and the people in it.
What We Cover
- We look into how retailers nationwide can participate in SNAP/EBT nutrition incentive programs and how they can use CATAPULT to facilitate those transactions.
- We speak with NGA experts about best practices and options available to ECRS retailers.
- We highlight an ECRS retailer’s experience with Feeding Florida's Fresh Access Bucks program, specifically; what the program is, how it benefits their community, and what retailers can do to join the program and programs like it.
We will end with a live Q&A session with NGA and retailer panelists on their personal experiences with these programs.
