Description:

The goal of the Wellness and Independence through Nutrition Program (WIN), formerly known as the Food Assistance Outreach Project, is to reduce hunger in underserved mid-life and older Iowans, age 50 years and older, who are eligible for but not yet enrolled in the food assistance program. 

ISU Extension and Outreach Human Sciences Specialists and County Staff in select areas promote awareness of how food assistance can improve nutrition and quality of life for adults age 50+ and to increase awareness of budget-friendly nutrition practices for mid-life and older adults.

How to Help:

Organizations can support the mission of the WIN Program by agreeing to serve as presentation locations, distribute WIN Guides, or host a display. Individuals and organizations interested in learning more and supporting the mission of the WIN Programs are encouraged to contact the WIN Coordinator closest to them.
