🍏Last year, Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture’s Double Up Food Bucks program doubled over $40,000 in SNAP benefits (food stamps) on local food, helping to support our food insecure community members as well as our local farmers and producers. Many of these transactions happen at our farmers’ market, and are made possible in part by the generous support of community members like you!
💸To raise money to continue supporting our community in this way, BRWIA is hosting a fundraising week February 26th - March 4th, partnering with local businesses who are generously donating portions of their sales to our program. See the schedule for how your night out can benefit the local food system!
🎟️They are also putting on a raffle with incredible packages donated by local businesses, artists, farms, and restaurants. Check out the Local Food Package for your chance to win some WCFM swag and Carrot Coins!🥕Tickets are available online at: https://go.rallyup.com/doubleupfoodbucks, on the Food Hub (highcountryfoodhub.org), at the King Street Market, or at any of the scheduled events. Raffle will close on March 15th (winners selected March 16th!).
🙏Thanks for your support of this impactful program!
