Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Food and Health Network of South Central New York

FaHN programs support healthy people, farms and communities through the Fruit & Vegetable Prescription Program, farm to school and institutions, assessments and technical assistance. FaHN began as the Regional Community Food Project in 2005 with staffing provided by one FTE AmeriCorps member and volunteers and has since increased capacity to two FTE staff and one FTE AmeriCorps VISTA member.
