Help your low income neighbors eat the delicious, local food that our market vendors sell by contributing to the SNAP-matching fund. This fund increases the buying power of low-income shoppers at CWFM who use food stamps, now known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP.
On average, these folks receive just $3/day in SNAP credit to buy food for a month. If a shopper spends any amount of SNAP credit in our market, we give them a matching amount in market currency -- up to $15 per customer, per market day.
