HLFM's Food Pantry Purchase Program—
Help Your Favorite Farmers
and Local Food Pantries
|
HLFM customers who want to help feed the local community with fresh local food may purchase produce, meats, milk, and other food from growers at the Market to donate to the local Food Pantries, including Epworth and Casa San Francisco Food Pantries, every Saturday. It’s so easy--all you have to do is let the vendor know what you want to donate or give $5, $10, $25 to the grower and ask them to put together a selection for the food pantries. The farmer gets your sale, and the food pantry gets the local food. We thank you for your generosity! |
|
SNAP, WIC, SFMNP—
HLFM Matches up to $20 of SNAP
Per Market
|
The Market will continue to match SNAP benefits up to $20 per market, per customer. You can find the SNAP tent inside the Market with volunteers to process your SNAP/EBT and give you the HLFM tokens that can be used at market all season long. WIC and SFMNP benefits are also welcome at the Market. |

PARKING:
We strongly encourage you to bike or walk to the Market if you are able. Parking is very limited. The circle in front of the Fred Thomas Building at the foot of Dupont will be open for accessible drop-off and pick-up. Beebe Hospital is generously allowing Market customers to park in its outside parking lot (far rear near entrance to the park.) If you park there, follow the path to the right around the pond and you will reach the Market area. There is also parking in the Lewes Elementary School parking lot, right next to George H.P. Smith Park.

|
Note for dog-owners: Please keep dogs under control on a tightly held, non-retractable leash inside the Market to ensure the safety of all customers at the Market. Please also ensure that your dog does not urinate on any signs, trash cans, tents, tables, or safety cones inside and around the Market. Thank you for your help.
