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.

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 2023, MORE THAN $164,000 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 2023, A PROJECT THAT BEGAN AS COVID-RELIEF, FARM FRESH FOOD RELIEF, WAS CONTINUED TO DISTRIBUTE FREE FRESH PRODUCE BOXES TO LOW-INCOME HOMES WITH PRODUCE SOURCED FROM SMALL LOCAL FARMERS DIRECTING OVER $800,000 TO LOCAL BIPOC FARMS.
