| | | | | | | | BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Authorize the Supervisor and Clerk to enter into an amended Agreement for the 2020 Double Up Food Bucks Farmers Market Grant, and allow Pittsfield Charter Township to be reimbursed up to an additional $1,600 for Double Up Food Bucks incentives redeemed by SNAP customers at the Pittsfield Farmers Market, subject to Township Attorney approval. |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND:
Tina Lloyd contacted the Fair Food Network that manages the Double Up Food Bucks Program, which matches Bridge Card purchases for fresh produce, to request additional funding for 2020 incentives. Additional funding is needed since the program currently has unlimited matching this year due to the pandemic, and since additional food assistance was provided by the government, Pandemic-EBT, plus our season has been extended with our online Farmers Market scheduled to run through December. These funds will cover vendor reimbursement for this program if needed in 2020. The original grant was authorized April 1, 2020 and ends December 31, 2020. All other terms of the grant agreement remain the same. |
