Greensboro N&R – Thanks to a donation from Lululemon, a yoga clothing store, Greensboro Farmers’ Curb Market will continue its doubling of Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program withdrawals.
The market’s SNAP matching program provides SNAP recipients access to fresh local foods year round and boosts local farmers’ sales.
In addition to the support from Lululemon, the SNAP matching program enjoys continuing support from Cone Health Foundation, Hillsdale Fund and Mary Lynn Richardson Foundation. In 2015, SNAP customers withdrew almost $17,000 from their accounts and the market issued more than $11,000 in matching funds.
The market operates year round from 7 a.m. to noon Saturdays and seasonally from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesdays at 501 Yanceyville St. in Greensboro.
