SNAP Market Match is a nutrition incentive program that helps families and individuals who use Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)/EBT benefits increase their ability to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables from local farmers markets. At more than 100 participating markets, customers who use SNAP benefits at farmers markets can receive extra funds in the form of SNAP Market Match currency for fruits and vegetables! All summer long, you’ll see Mission Africa posting about how you can join us in supporting local farmers, increasing access to fresh foods, and taking advantage of all the market has to offer our shared community. Why? Because #It’sYourMarket!

Mission Africa hosts a back to school event every year. During this event, Mission Africa gives backpacks filled with free school supplies to elementary school students. We send smiling children on their way to a successful school year, continuing our mission to help educate children, whether overseas in Africa, or right here in our neighboring communities. We need volunteers to make this happen. Please email us through info@missionafrica.us if you want to join us and Click here to donate towards this program. View our 2021 event photos here.
