Thank you to Ridgecrest Elementary School's Family Advocate, Evangelina Vederoff for the following list of resources!

For those in need of help

If you have a remaining balance on your EBT card, you can participate in the following SNAP programs to receive additional benefits for fresh fruits & vegetables:
SNAP Produce Match - buy $10 of fresh, frozen, or canned fruits and vegetables with your EBT card at participating grocery stores and receive a $5 produce coupon: https://doh.wa.gov/.../snap-match.../snap-produce-match
SNAP Market Match - visit a participating farmers market or farm stand to receive SNAP Market Match dollars. Simply visit the information booth and swipe your EBT card for the amount you’d like to spend. Participating markets will match $25 or more per day in Market Match dollars for you to spend on produce: https://doh.wa.gov/.../snap-match-programs/snap-market-match
Fruit & Vegetable Prescription Program - The Washington State Department of Health’s Fruit and Vegetable Prescription (FV Rx) Program works with health care centers in Washington to prescribe fruits and vegetables to patients who are food insecure. Patients receive paper vouchers valued at $250-$500 over six months, redeemable at Safeway stores. Find out if you qualify: https://doh.wa.gov/.../fruit-and-vegetable-prescription...
