Grant Will Fund SNAP Program at Toledo & Lincoln City FArmers' Markets

Exciting news from Jen Christion Meyers of TRFW: Lincoln County's Community Health Improvement Partnership (CHIP) and Ten Rivers Food Web (TRFW) were awarded funds to launch the That's My Farmer SNAP Incentive Program at the Toledo and Lincoln City Farmers' Market next spring! The program is currently running in Newport. You can learn about it on the TRFW website: http://tenriversfoodweb.org/home/?p=9224.

The new That's My Farmer Outreach Coordinator, Katy Giombolini, starts her AmeriCorps service August 29th. A meeting for Lincoln County market managers to start planning for the spring will probably be in late September or early October.
