Position Description:
Are you passionate about making connections in your community? Want to help families stretch their resources while learning more about locally grown produce?

Work up to 10 hours a month, build your own schedule, perform outreach activities of your choosing, and receive $15 per hour.
Double SNAP Dollars (DSD) is an opportunity for SNAP recipients to double their SNAP dollars at participating farmer’s markets and farm shares.
