| Solicitation Profile |
The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) Just Say Yes to Fruits and Vegetables Program (JSY) announces the opportunity for organizations to implement the Stellar Farmers' Markets Program (SFM) for food insecure populations in the five boroughs of New York City (NYC). The JSY SFM program is an evidence-based obesity prevention intervention that focuses on improving the nutrition and physical activity behaviors of low-income families residing in New York City neighborhoods. JSY SFM promotes the benefits of a diet rich in vegetables and fruits, provides nutrition education and facilitates policy, systems and environmental changes (PSE) to reduce obesity.
JSY SFM operates at farmers markets in low-income neighborhoods and their surrounding community to provide free nutrition education and cooking workshops to SNAP-eligible New York City (NYC) adults. JSY SFM aims to improve dietary habits by providing education and resources for planning, purchasing and preparing healthy meals, that often include locally grown produce. JSY SFM workshops run from July through mid-November, include NYSDOH approved lesson plans and aim to address current nutrition-related topics: healthy portion sizes, nutrition facts labels, reducing food costs, increasing physical activity, healthy beverage consumption and meal planning. JSY SFM activities are year-round and are not limited to workshops at farmers' markets. |
