“The madisonville garden market introduced produce perks to customers using supplemental nutrition assistance program (snap) benefits, this season. Produce perks is a grant funded incentive program that allows snap users to get two for the price of one on fresh fruits and vegetables. This helped our snap transactions more than double, getting more health food to those in need. We built and rehabbed an additional 41 garden beds adding to our 500 gardens madisonville program. The program also hosted an educational community event every month during the season. Another 150 laying hens were adopted through our 500 chickens program bringing our total to 450 laying hens introduced into madisonville and surrounding communities. Our programming extended across state lines in to newport, ky. There we directly supervised inmates in the garden that allowed a total of 510 hours toward the work release program. Through various parts of these garden operations we helped facilitate over a 2,000 lbs. Of fresh food donations.”
