Grant Snapshot: We are seeking funding to deliver a Farmers Market Coupon Program in partnership with Songhees First Nation during the 2026 market season. The program will provide Marketbucks to Songhees households, increasing access to fresh, locally grown food while reducing financial barriers to shopping at farmers markets. The initiative also promotes inclusivity, dignity, and stronger connections within the local food community.
