The NGA Foundation Technical Assistance Center (TA Center) has introduced a new website
to provide necessary information to retailers interested in nutrition incentives such as those funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program (GusNIP).
“While providing those in need with free or discounted produce may appear simple, the technology to conduct efficient point-of-sale (POS) transactions, provide accurate reimbursement to retailers and maintain program accountability is complex,” noted Ted Mason, TA Center project director. “This new website aims to simplify the process by offering a resource that can help answer questions that grocers may have about providing nutrition benefits to their customers who need them.”
