In the last 24 hours, food access programs were put at severe risk by our new administration. Our neighbors (including seniors and mothers) may have their funding withdrawn for important items like fresh, locally grown foods.
As a farmers market director, this puts the world on its access as the risk is huge to our farmers and our neighbors in need. Learn more in this episode about how food access programs work, and how you can help.
