What is it?

Union Square Main Streets (USMS) proudly presents the 7th 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 22-29, 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 90 Union Square at the market so our team can help you double down on your benefits!



Why is it important?

During the 2010 Union Square Farmers Market season, the market issued ~$164 in SNAP and match per market. In the 2023 season, the average SNAP and match issued per market was ~$1,562 – a 852% increase. This season, demand for the match increased 23% in just the first month. 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.
