Time: 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM

Why This Matters:
The SNAP/EBT Double Dollar program allows community members to use their benefits to purchase fresh, healthy food at the Farmers Markets. Your help plays a key role in increasing awareness and participation among residents who can benefit most from this program.
