| 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 $10,000 will be matched through August 10—which means your gift will go twice as far!
As SFUSD students go back to school in mid August, help Foodwise welcome them back to the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market through our free Foodwise Kids and Foodwise Teens programs. Donate now by August 10, and your gift will be matched!Here’s what your gift (when doubled) makes possible:
- $50 x 2 = Fresh produce from the farmers market for 2 Foodwise Kids cooking classes
- $100 x 2 = Supplies for 2 Foodwise Teens hands-on cooking experiences in the farmers market
- $250 x 2 = 2 field trips to local urban farms or food businesses for a group of Foodwise Teens participants
- $500 x 2 = A life-changing semester of gardening, cooking, and working for 2 Foodwise Teens students
