🥕✨ Our VeggieRx Workbook & Personal Goal Planner is a guide we’ve developed and refined through years of real work alongside our participants — rooted in a trauma-informed approach to nutrition that honors your story, your culture, and your relationship with food.⁠
⁠
🍅 At our VeggieRx Cooking Demos, participants get to see the planner come to life through seasonal recipes and VeggieRx Vouchers they can use to bring fresh ingredients home. It’s nourishment in every sense of the word.⁠

📢 Save Market Match!⁠
⁠
➡️Situation: California's proposed 2026-27 budget threatens to end Market Match, a critical program for individuals and families using CalFresh/EBT benefits. Market Match DOUBLES the dollars withdrawn at participating farmers' markets to be used to purchase fresh fruits and veggies from local farmers. Everyone benefits.⁠
⁠
🥕Take Action: Keep fresh, local food affordable for all Californians! Contact and your state representative TODAY and urge them to fund CNIP and Save Market Match. ⁠
