Farmers Market at HealthFirst Family Care Center continues indoors
Due to it’s success, the new Farmer’s Market in Fall River is continuing indoors with the cold temperatures.
The Farmers Market, who accepts SNAP (EBT cards), HIP (Health Incentive Program), senior checks, cash, credit, and debit, will continue at HealthFirst Community Health Center on Quarry Street. The Farmers’ Market will run from 2:00 to 5:00 PM on December 4th and 18th in 2019 and January 8th, 22nd in 2020.
The Healthy Incentive Program (HIP) allows SNAP (EBT card holders) recipients to pay for produce at approved Farmers Markets and Farm Stands and have the dollars spent replaced immediately into the SNAP/EBT card- dollar for dollar up to a specified limit. People who think they might qualify for SNAP or have questions about qualifications or the application process, should call Catholic Social Services at 508-674-4681, Citizens for Citizens 508- 679- 0041 or the Fall River Office of the Department of Transitional Assistance. Eligibility is income based, but home ownership is allowed, and medical costs including prescriptions, some travel, and other expenses can be deducted from your income resulting in eligibility.
