City Green
Funder: New Jersey Health Initiatives
|
The Garden State Good Food Network is very excited to announce that the 2021 season is up and running, with 20 partner retailers plus their own market and Veggie Mobile. There are twice as many partner retailers as last year, which means twice as many markets doubling SNAP dollars for fresh produce spent with Families First cards, giving SNAP shoppers access to healthy, farm-fresh produce! This also means that New Jersey farmers will have twice as many opportunities to incentivize their fresh produce to SNAP customers and earn extra income for their hard work that helps to sustain us all.
