Categories of Food Access Resources:
| Community Gardens: Community gardens provide garden space and support to area residents to help them grow affordable, nutritious and culturally appropriate food.
|
| EBT Stores: EBT stores accept EBT benefits. Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) is an electronic system that allows a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participant to pay for food using SNAP benefits. This includes a variety of stores, including convenience stores, dollar stores, grocery stores, specialty food stores, and other stores that sell food to make at home.
|
| Farmers Markets: A farmers market is a public and recurring group of farmers or their representatives selling the food they produce directly to consumers. Most farmers markets accept EBT.
|
| Food Pantries: A food pantry is a place where those in need can receive food. Some pantries have criteria or screening processes individuals have to meet prior to receiving food from the pantry. Please access this information by clicking on the pantry’s icon.
|
| Groceries stores: Stores that sell a full variety of food products, including fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, dairy, grains, canned and boxed foods.
|
| Cultural Grocery Stores: Cultural or ethnic specialty grocery stores selling ingredients, food, and other goods that relate to traditions, culture, and heritage of community members.
