“OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Fulton Stall Market - Two Bridges Youth MarketEstablishes a outdoor farmers market at 50 Madison St. in the Two Bridges neighborhood of the Lower East Side and Chinatown as a satellite of the Fulton Stall Market to provide low-income residents with convenient access to fresh, organically grown, affordable produce while employing six local teenage youth from a youth development program.Two Bridges Youth Market was developed in collaboration with the long-established nonprofit social service agency Hamilton-Madison House and two of the Fulton Stall Markets farmers. In 2022 it operated weekly on Sundays July 17 to December xxx offering a wide variety of locally grown seasonal vegetables and apples from the farmers.By participating in the New York State WIC and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program and the USDA SNAP program, in addition to accepting cash and credit cards, the Youth Market was able to provide hundreds of local families, including participants in the Woman, Infants, Children (WIC) program and Seniors, many of whom reside in nearby public housing, with access to these nutritious foods on a weekly basis. In addition, by participating in the NYC Department of Healths Health Bucks Program, the market was able to issue a 100% bonus for SNAP participants use of EBT cards up to $10 per day, thereby greatly incentivizing shopping for fresh local produce.The Youth Market was advertised in the community with information in English, Spanish and Chinese. To provide education in the selection and use of locally grown seasonal fresh produce, including unfamiliar varieties, the market recruited a series of celebrity chefs as volunteers to conduct weekly food preparation demos, with free samples.Number of persons benefited: 100-300 consumers per week 8 youth market operators - 2 participating NY farmers”
