Become a Community Partner

The Virginia Alliance for Healthier Virginians is an inclusive, formal public/private partnership working to increase participation in SNAP and other nutrition programs in the Commonwealth and improve the SNAP application process. Nutrition assistance programs include SNAP; the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Program; nutrition education provided through the Virginia Tech Cooperative Extension Program; commodities and services offered through area agencies on aging and community action agencies; the Food Banks and the food industry.

If your agency or organization is interested in helping people in your community meet their nutritional needs, please consider becoming a community partner. For more information, e-mail BPOnlineApps@dss.virginia.gov.
