> Hello, All,
>  
> I hope that you, and your family and friends, are safely navigating the consequences of the pandemic, that is impacting all aspects of life.  While we are wisely taking precautions to protect ourselves, our loved-ones, and the community at large, we know that it is more important than ever to intentionally stay connected and to be well-informed.
>  
> Since March, 2020, a group of friends and associates have committed to share community and governmental resources, that offer aid in the areas of meal delivery, food bank information, housing assistance, utility assistance, child-care information, health-care delivery information, transportation options, shopping alternatives, distance learning, conducting virtual gatherings, and more.  In the spirit of this commitment, you are receiving this information, below, because you are in a unique position to know a senior or a family that may qualify for the $30.00 coupon book, to purchase fresh produce, from local AZ farmers, associated with the Downtown Phoenix Farmers’ Market.  The link, below, will open the website, where more details about this limited, food assistance program can be found, including market locations/contact information, program qualification guidelines, coupon book acquisition, and shopping options.  Market locations include, but are not limited to, Phoenix, Paysan, Prescott, Tucson, and Sierra Vista.  Thank you for sharing this information with a family and/or senior that is enrolled in the qualifying food assistance programs, described below.

> Once a year, families participating in the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program and seniors, age 60 and older and participating in the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP), can receive $30 in farmers market coupons that can be used to purchase fresh, locally grown fruits, vegetables, and herbs at an approved farmers’ market. We are excited to be rolling out FMNP at the market this week as it helps people bring home more healthy fruits and vegetables while supporting local farmers. Thanks to the dedicated work of our friends at Pinnacle Prevention for making this a reality. If you'd like to learn more or how you can participate follow the link below.
