Corvallis-AlbanyFarmers’ Markets
FRESH, LOCAL, FARM-DIRECT
Saturdays and Wednesdays, April–December 2O23
On Nov. 12, CAFM will add $20 in Community Bucks to the $20 in temporary Double Up Food Bucks the market association began issuing on Nov.1 to SNAP customers.
We will re-evaluate after the Wednesday market to determine if funds will be available to offer Community Bucks at additional markets.
Farmers Market Fund, a Portland-based organization, provided both funding and guidance that allowed CAFM to serve people who otherwise would have lost access to much of their food budget.
Following news on Friday that SNAP was loaded on cards. FMF decided to allow the $1 match to continue through the month in light of the severe food insecurity Oregonians have experience since Nov. 1.
CAFM asks that SNAP users consider redeeming more than $1 in SNAP to help support local farmers.
Community Bucks are now possible thanks to Fresh & Local, First, a small local nonprofit that has assisted farmers’ markets in Linn and Benton counties.
