September is National Hunger Month! Did you know Farmer's Markets and the fresh, locally grown food may not be available to individuals and families who leverage food assistance programs? Have you heard of Feeding Neighbors Program this all started during the shut down when seniors and jobless individuals were forced to be homebound.
Today I'm joined by Dr. Mallory Ciuksza from St. Clair Health Internal Medicine. Dr. Ciuksza and her husband Albert founded Food Assistance Match (FAM), a nonprofit that doubles SNAP and other food assistance dollars at farmers markets to increase access to fresh, healthy food, support local farmers, and protect patrons' dignity.
Tune in as we discuss FAM’s pandemic origins, the program’s impact across Bethel Park, Bellevue and Cranberry, plans for technology improvements, and Hunger Action Month fundraising — with ways listeners can donate or learn more at the link below.
