What is Good Food For All?

Good Food for All is a week-long, community campaign to raise awareness and funds for the Union Square Farmers Market’s SNAP Match Program. This campaign is proudly presented by Union Square Main Streets (USMS) and is currently in its 9th year!

From June 20-27, participating businesses join the Good Food For All campaign by donating proceeds from a featured product or service or a percentage of sales to the SNAP Match Program. Community members are, in turn, encouraged to patronize participating businesses in support of this campaign.

Why is it important?

SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, previously Food Stamps) recipients often find fresh, local food at farmers markets inaccessible, yet these foods are vital for strong and healthy immune systems. 

To increase accessibility to these local food sources, the Union Square Farmers Market (USFM) offers a SNAP Match Program: USFM matches SNAP funds that shoppers use with market vendors, dollar-for-dollar up to $15 each market day. This means that a shopper gets $30 to shop SNAP-eligible goods while only spending $15 of their benefits, doubling their purchasing power. 

To help facilitate use of the SNAP Match Program, USMS employs multilingual market staff who are specially trained to help shoppers navigate using their food access benefits at USFM. These Multilingual SNAP Facilitators process the market’s SNAP transactions, provide information and resources to SNAP shoppers, and, as needed, provide interpretation support to farmers and shoppers at the point of sale. Interpretation is available in Cantonese, Mandarin, Portuguese, and Spanish.

Since 2005, Union Square Main Streets (USMS) has raised more than $120,000 to match SNAP dollars, making it possible for more neighbors to participate in and enjoy the bounty of its farmers market. Good Food For All ensures that this vital food access program continues.

During the 2019 Union Square Farmers Market season, USMS issued $4,517 in SNAP Match funds. Throughout the 2025 season, USMS issued $21,173 in SNAP Match funds – an astounding 368% increase. While this increase shows that fresh food continues to be a priority for all, it also means Good Food For All is even more important than ever.
