Islands YMCA, Healthy Savannah partner to advocate for food equity through SWAP program

The Islands YMCA and Healthy Savannah partnered up for a food equity information session on Wednesday.

The organizations are piloting a new program to encourage food pantry donations that help put food equity advocacy into action.

The organization’s goal is to stock the pantry with healthy items, provide clients with health resources, and implement healthy nudges. By doing this they developed a program called SWAP.
