NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Farmer’s Market- Market Match Program

Description: Through grant from First 5 LA,

Market Match has launched a five-year

expansion that aims to increase access to

healthy foods for families at 37 Los Angeles

area farmers' markets by 2018. Grant will

allow Market Match to expand to four new

L.A.-area farmers' markets this month, and

two more in July. Market Match program will

provide program incentives to L.A. families

with kids 0-5. The Market Match program

doubles shoppers' CalFresh and WIC nutrition

benefits at participating farmers markets and

allows them to purchase more healthy fruits

and vegetables in low-income neighborhoods

where they are often not readily available. So

if a family spends $10 of their allotted

benefit, they are given an extra $10 to spend

on fruits and vegetables at the farmers'

market.

Information: A good resource for other

Farmer Market Locations that accept

CalFresh EBT, WIC and offer Market Match*

incentives beyond what is listed in address.
