Farmers Market Nutrition Program
Every year WIC partners with the Sustainable Food Center (SFC) to bring the farmers' market nutrition program to our WIC families. The program begins April 2025 thru September 2025. Each qualifying WIC participant is eligible to receive a one-time per year $30 to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables at local farmers' markets. The SFC will then double the amount, totaling $60 per participant.
