The mission of FNS is to increase food security and reduce hunger by providing children and people with low incomes access to food, a healthy diet, and nutrition education in a way that supports American agriculture and inspires public confidence. Most nutrition assistance programs funded by FNS are administered at the state and local levels, among them the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Some farmers’ markets in Wyoming offer programs for people eligible for SNAP benefits.

USDA FNS also operates the Patrick Leahy Farm to School Program (see next listing).
