Feeding Families
The Montavilla Farmers' Market 'Everybody Eats SNAP Match' program doubles the value of food stamps for customers shopping at the farmers' market. Since 2010, we have matched over $20,000 in 'market tokens'--exchangeable for nutritious, local food. Last year we decided to increase the cap on our weekly match from $5 to $10. The response has been amazing. New customers are coming to the market because they can afford to buy nourishing, whole foods and support the local food economy. This is a win for families, farmers and you.To reach our goal this year, we need to raise $7,000 for the Everybody Eats program. You can help us feed local families in need with highly nutritious food. A little bit of love goes a long way!
