The Fort Bragg Farmers Market has the great opportunity to receive matching dollars from the federal government to provide extra money to EBT users (formerly called food stamps) for purchase of fruits and vegetables. EBT users will receive $10 extra per market day visit to buy extra fruits and vegetables. We are looking for volunteers who would like to help with EBT/Market Match Tokens, Market Match promotion, and/or chef demo/taste test to promote fruits and vegetables. Every volunteer hour will be matched by $20 from the federal government for the EBT Market Match program. If you are interested, please contact Petra Schulte at 937-4704 or email her at petra@wholeplantfoods.info
This is also a great opportunity to boost sales at the farmers market, further sustain our local economy and help people on foods stamps afford healthy food. If you don't have the time but would like to support this great program, you can make a donation that will be matched 1:1 by federal dollars. Contact Petra at 937-4704 or email her at petra@wholeplantfoods.info
