WPS101 | Advancing equity: The intersection of government, enterprise, and tech
Reducing food insecurity and increasing access to fresh produce is a major priority for state and federal agencies in the US. The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) teamed up with Amazon on a public-private collaboration that tackles food insecurity. Together, they launched the Washington State SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) Produce Match program, which allows residents to receive a $10 match for future use every time they buy $10 worth of fruits and vegetables. With the support of AWS, the DOH also launched a new service that delivers the produce. Attend this session to learn about the magic that happens when collaboration meets cloud technology.
