Another Successful Farmers Market Season! WIC Families Received $645,316 in Produce

On November 30, 2020, WIC wrapped up another successful Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) season.  WIC FMNP is an annual program established by Congress in 1992 and funded by the United States Department of Agriculture to provide locally grown fruits and vegetables to WIC participants while promoting the awareness and use of farmers’ markets.

Between June and September 2020, PHFE WIC distributed 23,000 vouchers worth $28 each, to WIC families.

Thanks to all our partners who helped spread the word about the WIC farmers market program.  We want to acknowledge and thank Hunger Action Los Angeles and SEE-LA for organizing a safe curbside pickup farm box option for families to redeem their farmers market vouchers safely. 

We would also like to thank all of the farmers’ market managers, staff, and vendors for their support.
