JCFM Farm-to-Table Benefit Dinner

August 17th, 3:30-7:30pm, Kodama Farm & Food Forest

JCFM Combatting Local Food Insecurity:

Did you know that 11% of Jefferson County's population lives below the federal poverty line? That's over 3,600 of our friends and neighbors.

The Jefferson County Farmers Markets' mission is to support local farmers and artisans with vibrant marketplaces that cultivate community and provide access to healthy food for all. "Healthy food for all" is more than words for us. We deeply value community access to fresh, locally grown, and made food. The Jefferson County Farmers Markets (JCFM) nourish our community through four food access programs: SNAP Market Match, Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) Match, and VegRx.

Now more than ever, we need your help to sustain these vital food assistance programs.

Community support is necessary to ensure that JCFM's food assistance programs are sustainable for our small nonprofit.

With your support, JCFM will:

Match Senior FMNP with $30 per participant. Combining federally funded Senior FMNP benefits and community match funds gives low-income seniors $110 to spend on fresh fruits and vegetables at the farmers market this summer.
Grow the reach of Senior FMNP through outreach at local food banks, meal sites, and farmers markets. JCFM is administering Senior FMNP this year for both Jefferson and Clallam County. Your support helps us reach seniors experiencing food insecurity, empowering them to bring home fresh fruits and veggies from local farms.
Provide matching funds to children and families utilizing the WIC FMNP. $30 match per qualifying child.
Nourish children 0-18 years old through the VegRx program. This program provides income-qualifying children who receive care from Jefferson Healthcare with $20 per month, from June to December, for fresh fruits and vegetables at the Jefferson County Farmers Markets.
Stretch Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP/EBT) benefits with an extra $5 per shopper per day when shoppers spend $30 on their EBT card. Combining community support with grant funds, JCFM provides a dollar-for-dollar match for the first $30 spent per SNAP shopper daily.
Administer our food access programs serving ~1,200 households experiencing food insecurity.
