Retail Program Description

The Network for a Healthy California--Retail Program facilitates partnerships between retail stores and community based organizations to help increase the consumption and purchase of fruits and vegetables among food stamp eligible Californians. The Program provides retailers statewide with a unique variety of tools, resources, and outreach activities to inspire healthy change among consumers.

Connect with Your Community

The Retail Program brings retailers and community leaders together, which allows for a greater connection to your neighborhood and your customers. Local program leaders help build community-based partnerships including assistance with store-based materials and activities. As a result, involvement in the Retail Program raises your company’s profile as you show your commitment to improving the health of your neighborhood.

Increase Your Profit Potential

Research indicates that the Program has a positive effect on produce consumption. A study in 2000 showed that fruit and vegetable consumption increased significantly when Latino adults were exposed to the Latino Campaign at a variety of locations using a combination of community interventions, including retail-based activities!
