IRS990/Desc0FRESH APPROACH WORKS TO INCREASE THE ACCESSIBILITY OF HEALTHY FOOD OPTIONS IN LOW-INCOME NEIGHBORHOODS THROUGH FOOD ACCESS PROGRAMS: THE MOBILE FARMERS' MARKET IS A FARMERS' MARKET ON WHEELS THAT INCREASES ACCESS TO FRESH AND LOCAL PRODUCE IN LOW-INCOME NEIGHBORHOODS,THE EAST PALO ALTO COMMUNITY FARMERS' MARKET, AND MATCHING NUTRITION INCENTIVES AT THE RICHMOND CERTIFIED FARMERS' MARKET. MARKETS SUBSIDIZE THE COST FOR LOW-INCOME CUSTOMERS BY OFFERING MATCHING NUTRITION INCENTIVES TO SHOPPERS WHO RECEIVE 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 MATCHING FUNDS FOR SPENDING AT THE FARMERS' MARKETS HAS PROVEN TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN REMOVING FINANCIAL BARRIERS AND ATTRACTING LOW-INCOME SHOPPERS. IN 2020, $81,000 IN FRESH, LOCALLY GROWN PRODUCE WAS DISTRIBUTED TO BAY AREA RESIDENTS IN NEED THROUGH THE MATCHING NUTRITION INCENTIVES AT THE MOBILE FARMERS' MARKET, THE EAST PALO ALTO COMMUNITY FARMERS' MARKET AND THE RICHMOND CERTIFIED FARMERS' MARKET. IN 2020, A COVID-RELIEF PROJECT, FARM FRESH FOOD RELIEF, WAS ALSO IMPLEMENTED TO DISTRIBUTE FREE FRESH PRODUCE BOXES TO LOW-INCOME HOMES WITH PRODUCE SOURCED FROM SMALL LOCAL FARMERS - PROVIDING 110,000 BOXES OF PRODUCE AND DIRECTING NEARLY $1.9 MILLION TO LOCAL BIPOC FARMS.
