IRS990/Desc0FRESH APPROACH WORKS TO INCREASE THE ACCESSIBILITY OF HEALTHY FOOD OPTIONS IN LOW-INCOME NEIGHBORHOODS THROUGH FOOD ACCESS PROGRAMS: THE MOBILE FARMERS' MARKET, WHICH IS A FARMERS' MARKET ON WHEELS THAT INCREASES ACCESS TO FRESH AND LOCAL PRODUCE IN LOW-INCOME NEIGHBORHOODS (WITH ROUTE STOPS IN 10 CITIES THROUGHOUT THE BAY AREA), AND THE EAST PALO ALTO COMMUNITY FARMERS' MARKET. BOTH MARKETS SUBSIDIZE THE COST FOR LOW-INCOME CUSTOMERS BY OFFERING MATCHING NUTRITION INCENTIVES TO ANY SHOPPER WHO RECEIVED A FEDERAL BENEFIT SUCH AS CALFRESH/SNAP, WOMEN INFANTS & CHILDREN, SSI/SSDI, MEDI-CAL, AND/OR RECEIVE FOOD PANTRY SERVICES. FRESH APPROACH'S KEY STRATEGY OF PROVIDING VOUCHERS AND MATCHING FUNDS FOR SPENDING AT THE FARMERS' MARKETS HAVE PROVEN TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN REMOVING FINANCIAL BARRIERS AND ATTRACTING LOW-INCOME SHOPPERS. IN 2019, $94,000 IN FRESH, LOCALLY GROWN PRODUCE WAS DISTRIBUTED TO 21,115 BAY AREA RESIDENTS IN NEED: $83,000 IN FREE PRODUCE DISTRIBUTED AT MOBILE FARMERS' MARKET AND AT THE EAST PALO ALTO COMMUNITY FARMERS' MARKET THROUGH MATCHING NUTRITION INCENTIVES; $11,000+ IN PRODUCE DONATED TO LOCAL FOOD PANTRIES.
