What is it?

Union Square Main Streets (USMS) proudly presents the 6th Annual Good Food for All, a week-long, community campaign to raise awareness and funds for the Union Square Farmers Market local SNAP match.

From June 17-24, participating businesses will donate proceeds from a featured product or service or a percentage of sales to the local SNAP match program.

Mark your calendars, and check back to this page to see the growing list of local businesses supporting this effort.

SNAP Customers, visit the blue Market Manager's tent in front of SMC at the market so our team can help you double down on your benefits!

Why is it important?

Since 2020, the demand for the SNAP match at the farmers market increased by 217% as resilient Somerville residents endure the devastating impacts of COVID-19. 

The long road to recovery is even more apparent with a marked 39% increase in participation in the Union Square Farmers Market’s SNAP match in the first month of the 2023 season alone. While this increase shows that fresh food continues to be a priority for all neighbors, it also means Good Food For All is even more important than ever.

SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, previously Food Stamps) recipients often find fresh, local food at farmers markets inaccessible. Since 2005, USMS has raised money to match SNAP dollars, making it possible for more eligible households to participate in our Farmers Market. And now we invite you, friends and neighbors, to come to the table and to help support our neighbors.
