WHOLESOME WAVE GEORGIA BELIEVES THAT ALL GEORGIANS SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO FRESH HEALTHY AND LOCALLY GROWN FOOD. We put healthy food in the hands of 1.32 million food-insecure families across Georgia through partnerships with local farms, markets, and community healthcare organizations.
MISSION
Wholesome Wave Georgia (WWG) makes fresh, healthy, locally-grown produce affordable and available to all Georgians.
VISION
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.
ABOUT
FOUNDED IN 2009
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.
Wholesome Wave Georgia encourages us to rethink the cost, accessibility, and affordability of fresh, nutritious foods in our state. Our mission is to increase access to and awareness of healthy food choices for all Georgians in need through local farmers and community partners.
We work towards our mission through our core programs: Fresh For Less, Food For Health, and SNAP Connection.
