A new statewide program called ‘Greaux the Good’ is set to roll out in the spring of 2023. The program incentivises those utilizing food assistance programs to shop local instead of at big chain stores.
Program Director, Chelsea Triche Jackson, says the program will match every dollar spent through a food assistance program such as SNAP or FMNP if they spend it at a partnering market. This allows for those in need to have access to quality produce and more of it.
