Implementing the SWAP Stoplight Nutrition System: Frequently Asked Questions
SWAP (Supporting Wellness at Pantries) is a suite of tools and resources to help food banks and pantries operationalize the HER Nutrition Guidelines. This resource outlines frequently asked questions resulting from a year’s long pilot with eight food banks around the country who were implementing SWAP in their food banks. They helped identify common challenges and strategies to work through barriers and improve sustainability.
