We've got numbers for all of you who enjoy tracking data! In Jan/Feb 2023, we have distributed $135,913 in CalFresh and #MarketMatch (MM) at 6 local farmers' markets across 5,475 transactions!

You may note that the total dollar amount is a slight decrease from the same period in 2022. We can trace this to two root causes:

1. Until April '22, MM incentives were $15/customer. Since then, they have been $10/customer. This means fewer incentive dollars are available to spend in '23.

2. The weather was dramatically different between 2022 and 2023. This year, markets saw constant storms that sometimes resulted in early closures or even cancellations, which are normally very rare. The storms also impact the timing and availability of California-grown produce.

We wanted to share a new resource. Taking information compiled by NorCal Resist, Sacramento Homeless Union, The Awkward Gardener, and ourselves, we have put together a map of food resources in the Sacramento region including food banks, food pantries, free fridges, farmers' markets, and farm stands (including EBT access and incentives). Take a look and share it with others: https://alchemistcdc.org/food-map/
