The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute for Food and Agriculture has awarded the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) a Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program COVID Relief and Response (GusCRR) grant of $6,325,464 to support low-income shoppers through the California Nutrition Incentive Program (CNIP). Click here<\/a> to view USDA\u2019s news release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCDFA is grateful to receive a COVID Relief and Response grant,\u201d said CDFA Secretary Karen Ross. \u201cIt will go a long way toward helping our families afford healthy food and supporting California farmers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CDFA\u2019s CNIP provides nutrition incentives to CalFresh (formerly known as food stamps) shoppers at participating farmers\u2019 markets and retail sites, allowing shoppers to purchase more California-grown fruits and vegetables. For every CalFresh dollar spent, CNIP provides an additional dollar to spend on California-grown fresh fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNIP is administered by CDFA\u2019s Office of Farm to Fork<\/a>, which leads CDFA\u2019s food access work. More information on the California Nutrition Incentive Program, grantees and participating retail outlets can be found at https:\/\/cafarmtofork.cdfa.ca.gov\/cnip.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
