| It’s National Farmers Market Week, a time to celebrate and support your favorite farmers market and advocate for local farms and fresh food access for all.
Right now, you can do that by supporting Foodwise’s free food education programs, which make the farmers market a place of learning, wellness, and connection for thousands of San Francisco kids and families. Thanks to the generous support of a group of donors, all donations up to $8,500 will be matched through August 12—which means your gift will go twice as far.
As SFUSD students go back to school next week, help Foodwise welcome them back to the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market through our free Foodwise Kids and Foodwise Teens programs. Donate now to get us to $8,500 by August 12, and your gift will be matched!Here’s what your gift (doubled) makes possible:
$50 x 2 = Fresh produce from the farmers market for 2 Foodwise Kids cooking classes $100 x 2 = 2 stipends for a Foodwise Teens high school student’s first job at the farmers market $250 x 2 = Supplies for 2 Foodwise Kids & Families hands-on cooking classes $500 x 2 = A life-changing semester of gardening, cooking, and working for 2 Foodwise Teens students
