• $50: Doubles the value of SNAP/EBT (Food Stamp) benefits through the Fresh Bucks program, providing $50 worth of fresh, local and nutritious food for only $25. This program benefits individuals and families while expanding sales for local farmers.
• $100: Fuels our Local Motive Mobile Farmers’ Market vans and Food Hub delivery vehicles, delivering fresh food to restaurants, grocers, institutions, and food-insecure communities, across the region.
• $250: Powers our Food Hub, which provides critical marketing and technical assistance to farmers and connects them to restaurants, retailers, and community programs, expanding their reach and revenue.
• $500: Strengthens the Farmers Fighting Hunger initiative. In partnership with community nonprofits and government agencies we deliver fresh, local food to underserved individuals and families, leveraging resources to maximize impact while supporting small-scale farmers.
• $1,000: Supports the Farmer Scholarship program. Twice a year we offer farmers the opportunity to apply for a funding opportunity to support their farm enterprise. 

Your gift helps us empower local farmers, provide fresh food to families, and support our community partners like nonprofits and schools. Together, we’re creating a sustainable, equitable food system for all.
