The Outreach Coalition of the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is pleased to announce it is accepting nominations for the Golden Grocer Hunger Champions Award Program. These awards represent the retailer component of the Hunger Champions Award Program by recognizing the instrumental role retailers play in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP or the Food Stamp Program in NYS). Retailers committed to the FNS vision of ending hunger and improving nutrition and health has ensured the success of the SNAP. Highlighting successful activities that improve service to recipients of SNAP benefits and low-income customers will provide other retailers with exemplary models to replicate.
The 2010 Golden Grocer Hunger Champions awards will be given to retailers that provide excellence in customer service, outreach, and/or nutrition education.
To be eligible for a nomination, a firm must be a SNAP authorized retailer in good standing. As in the past, awards will be given in three categories of SNAP authorized firms: local stores affiliated with large corporations, small independent grocery stores, and farmers’ markets.
Nominations will be accepted throughout the year and awards will be made on an ongoing basis.
