Market Match does more than stretch food budgets.

It helps parents put fresh fruits and vegetables on the table. It helps seniors access nutritious food. It helps local farmers reach more customers. It strengthens communities.

The State Senate is currently negotiating California's budget, and Market Match funding is still at risk. We need a full $20M allocation to protect this important program.

Together, we can help ensure Market Match continues serving Californians for years to come. 💚

If farmers' markets matter to you, now is the time to speak up.
