Why now?
Adding Link, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will help provide access to healthy food for your community and increase sales for vendors selling Link eligible products. Offering Link and LinkMatch is a win-win for your customers and vendors!
Funding is available for the Link Match program. There is addiditional funding coming from both the state and federal governments to expand Link Match programs at Illinois Farmers Markets. Link Match doubles the value of Link purchases at farmers markets by providing matching currency redeemable at the market for fresh local fruits and vegetables.
Hear from The Land Connection, who runs the Link programs at the Champaign and Urbana markets, how Link and Link Match programs have impacted their vendors and community.
This webinar will also discuss resources available to help markets begin their program. Need help taking the next step, or need more information on how the program works? As we look to winter markets and the 2022 summer season, get ready to accept Link and see sales grow.
