During these tough economic times, we understand the stress of not having access to good nutrition. After all, the foundation of good health is quality food. Then it follows: good health creates better students, more productive employees, happier people and a more stable society.
With the impending food crisis looming in America, many Food Pantries to which I donate have told me of the strain of having to provide for more and more needy singles and families.
That's why I'm overjoyed to tell you that Pocono Mountain United Way has agreed to double our Double Bucks Program up to forty dollars! For those of you who participated in our program, you know it was only up to twenty dollars. Now, it's TWICE that.
Now, when you swipe your card and ask for 20.00 to be taken out, instead of 40.00 in tokens, you'll have up to 80.00 worth in tokens to spend on meals, breads, cookies, pot pies, kombucha and meats.
This news lifted my spirits and made me glad, yet again, for being a part of this excellent community and program. Such programs, during the height of fruit and vegetable season, will enable you to purchase more delicious, farm-grown items for your breakfast, lunch and dinner table.
This program isn't just for helping our community to eat better. It's also a great way to ensure more foot traffic comes to our square so you can meet your local farmer. Our market is all about getting to know who is growing your herbs, making your breads and cheeses and, ask questions to educate yourself on food.
Stop by and see us and say hello! We're happy to have you!
We're open from 8 am to 12 noon on Saturdays.

EDIT and Clarification: I stated earlier that if you spend 20.00 with EBT with our Double Bucks Program, you'll get 80.00 in tokens. The correct way our system participates is you'll have to spend 40.00 to get 40.00 in tokens. That will equal 80.00 total to spend with our farmers. Sorry for any confusion this caused.
