MMM removes economic barriers for food insecure Marylanders, providing a dollar-for-dollar match for purchases made using federal nutrition benefit at Maryland farmers markets, thereby lowering economic barriers to healthy foods while assisting local farmers.
BWGC funds (80%) will go directly to the MMM match, allowing participating women to access the fresh, nutritious foods from Baltimore farmers’ markets. The balance will support salaries of two experienced staff members and the purchase of supplies.
