Take Action!
Tell Governor Brown that Healthy Food Affordability is a Priority
Join us in calling on the Governor to approve the Legislature's one-time $9 million
investment in
the California Fruit & Vegetable EBT Pilot to increase market access to affordable, California-grown produce
.
Watch the video below of Senate Budget Committee Chair Holly Mitchell and Senator Scott Wiener speak on the Senate Floor in support of including funding for the California Fruit & Vegetable EBT Pilot in the 2018-19 state budget.
This one-time funding will be used to upgrade the CalFresh EBT system to allow for dollar-for dollar matching CalFresh benefits upon the purchase of California-grown fresh fruits and vegetables. The pilot will be implemented and evaluated in multiple California communities at different types of retailers, including grocery stores and farmers' markets.
It only takes a minute to make your voice heard. Once you've taken action, spread the word!
Let the Governor know you support the California Fruit & Vegetable EBT Pilot.
