For almost 30 years, Market Umbrella has run the Crescent City Farmers Markets and over the years, has added critical nutrition incentive and education programs including Market Match, doubling SNAP dollars spent at markets and with partners, Greaux the Good, a statewide nutrition incentive program partnering with Louisiana farmers markets to implement nutrition incentive programs, Meet Me at the Market, our field trip program for preK - 3rd grade New Orleans students, Market Mommas Club supporting breastfeeding WIC eligible mothers, among others. This work has largely been successful with support from federal grants, and partnerships with state entities also using federal funds. In these unprecedented times, your support is more critical than ever to ensure these programs that support New Orleans residents, local farmers and the local economy can continue. Please show your support during this GiveNOLA season to ensure sufficient food access and farm supports in our region.
"We have been using Market Match since the very beginning. It really changed the way our family was eating. I was dumpstering for a lot of our food before I was able to get SNAP benefits. SNAP really changed our options on having fresh food, but Market Match made it possible for us to get everything we need. It is very important for me to source locally when I can because it tastes better and is more responsible economically and environmentally... We use Market Match twice a week and it is really important to my household on how we get our food." - shopper who uses Market Match
