Our Mission
Mission Plan for Go Go Organic: Action, Research, and Awareness
Go Go Organic is dedicated to promoting the importance of fresh, seasonal produce while supporting local farmers and educating communities on the health benefits of fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Our goal is to empower individuals and families, particularly those involved in the WIC Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (FMNP), through action-oriented research and outreach initiatives.
Our Goals
Enhance Access to Nutritional Education
- We plan to partner with local WIC agencies to provide workshops on nutrition, focusing on the benefits of seasonal produce.
- We will develop educational materials that highlight the availability of WIC-approved products at local farmers' markets.
Promote Seasonal Produce Awareness
- Create a seasonal calendar that highlights available local produce and incorporate it into outreach efforts.
- Host community events that showcase how to incorporate these fresh foods into everyday meals, utilizing FMNP benefits.
Research and Develop Best Practices
- We intend to conduct research on the impact of nutrition education on FMNP participants.
- We will collaborate with agricultural and nutritional experts to develop best practices for utilizing seasonal produce effectively.
Foster Community Engagement
- We plan to launch awareness campaigns through social media and local events that encourage community members to visit farmers' markets.
- We will establish a community garden where WIC recipients can learn how to grow their own produce, promoting self-sufficiency.
Enhance Flower Education Techniques
- We will provide workshops on flower care and arrangements using seasonal and local blooms, encouraging the use of flowers in community events.
- We will share techniques for flower hydration and preservation, tying in the importance of nature in promoting health and well-being.
