The United States Department of Agriculture/Food and Nutrition Service (USDA/FNS) awarded the
Virginia Department of Social Services a Food Stamp Program Participation Grant for Fiscal Year 2003. The Virginia
Department of Social Services and the Federation of Virginia Food Banks are using these funds to support the activities of the Virginia Nutrition Assistance Network (VNAN).
VNAN is an inclusive, formal public/private partnership working to increase participation in
the food stamp and other nutrition programs in the Commonwealth and improve the food stamp application process.
Nutrition assistance programs include Food Stamps; 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.
