FoodShare refers to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).
The market's goal is to increase access to fresh fruits and vegetables for low income families and to provide an additional value-added revenue source for our vendors.
Persons eligible for FoodShare benefits are able to purchase tokens with their benefits card. We are proud to have found a sponsor,
IEBW Local Union 494, to offer a match program. We will match up to $20 each week. Our market is also involved with the Milwaukee Match Program. Our farmers accept these coupons as well as the OCFM coins.
Look for the Oak Creek Tent in the center of the market for the FoodShare program.
