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
