The West Virginia Center for Resilient Communities and the WVU Family Nutrition Program have collaborated to launch the fourth major update of WV FoodLink.
Since 2015, the resource hosted by WVU has democratized knowledge about West Virginia’s food system, particularly vital nutrition assistance programs.
In light of looming cuts to vital nutrition assistance programs, many of the partners that make WV FoodLink possible are facing untenable demands on their community food security programs.
The proposed elimination of the SNAP-Ed program in particular would create a huge vacuum in the energy driving collaboration and innovation across West Virginia’s food and nutrition landscape.
