Last month, we were fortunate enough to collaborate with our partners, Brown
·
Miller Communications (BMC), to host a full day media training for eleven Champion Provider Fellows (photos below). The BMC team of Mike Miller and Paula Hamilton reviewed how to craft compelling messages and the "do’s" and "don’ts" of successful interviews.
|
|
Each fellow had the opportunity to do a mock interview in front of the group, followed by expert feedback. Materials from the training are posted on our website
here
and BMC will be providing additional media training at our upcoming Mini College on Thursday, March 26, 2020 in Sacramento.
Please note we have transitioned to a bimonthly e-newsletter schedule. Also, m

Focus Area(s)
:
The California Market Match program, led by the Berkeley-based Ecology Center, empowers low-income shoppers to make healthy food choices by overcoming financial barriers. Market Match provides a dollar-for-dollar match to people who use their CalFresh benefits at participating farmers’ markets, and other farm-direct sites, throughout California. So if a customer spends $10 of their CalFresh at a participating site, they receive another $10 to spend on California-grown fruits and vegetables. The program supports job creation, local economic development, and civic engagement, which are co-benefits of farmers’ markets. Market Match also helps stabilize and support rural communities by providing additional income for small and mid-sized farmers selling at farmers’ markets.
|
|
|
|
|
Clientele Served
:
CalFresh recipients, small and mid-sized independent farmers, and Certified Farmers’ Markets.
|
|
|
|
|
2019-2020 Key Initiatives
:
Market Match is offered at over 260 sites in 32 counties in California. In 2020 and beyond, the Ecology Center (EC) and the Market Match network of regional leaders, will continue to grow the reach of the program by offering the program at more sites and serving more CalFresh clients and farmers across the state.
EC will provide technical assistance to farmers’ markets that do not yet offer the program and conduct outreach to CalFresh clients in high-need areas who may not know the program exists. The Ecology Center partners with community-based organizations, county health and social service departments to achieve this.
