CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) — Wellpoint Tennessee, in collaboration with the YMCA Mobile Market, hosted Wellness with Wellpoint Thursday morning in Chattanooga, an event designed to support healthy lifestyles and improve food access for local families.
Held from 10 a.m. to noon, the community event provided free produce, healthy snacks, and recipe cards to attendees, while also connecting eligible SNAP recipients to the Double Up Food Bucks Program.
This initiative doubles the value of SNAP benefits when used to purchase fruits and vegetables, helping stretch grocery budgets while promoting healthier eating.
The event also featured family-friendly entertainment and wellness resources, highlighting Wellpoint’s continued investment in improving community health outcomes by removing barriers to nutritious food.
Wellpoint partnered with local volunteers and the Chattanooga YMCA Mobile Market to make this event possible, bringing nutritious, affordable food options directly into neighborhoods.
