Did you see our team walking in the Human Race Event on May
4th? In case you missed us, we were the ones wearing fruit and
vegetable shirts and hats!
Our team raised over $4500!!! for the Farmers’ Market Food
Stamp Match Program… a program that encourages families to use their CalFresh/EBT
funds to purchase fruits, vegetables, meat, and plant starts at the farmers’market… by matching their EBT charges with up to $15 in “farmers’ market bucks”…
great for family’s health and great for supporting our local farm businesses!
Our fundraising team was a huge collaboration between local
businesses (like local farm vendors, the Westside Renaissance Market, and
Parducci Winery), local healthcare clinics and staff (like Hillside Health
Clinic and ARCH’s Healthcorps Navigators), local agencies (like NCO and the
Planning and Prevention Unit at Mendocino County’s Public Health Dept.), as
well as individuals from across the community.
