Enjoy Delicious Food, Support a Great Cause
Here’s your opportunity to have a great meal and do a good deed all at the same time. Be a part of “Dine for a Cause” on Sunday, July 26th, 2105 at Stella’s Kentucky Deli from 4 – 9 pm. A portion of the proceeds from your meal will go to support a worthy new program in our community, Bluegrass Double Dollars. Please sign up for the Facebook event by clicking the link below:
As I’ve noted previously on this blog, Bluegrass Double Dollars is a program that makes healthy, local produce more affordable to Lexington SNAP (formerly food stamps) recipients. It doubles the dollars (up to $10 per transaction) of SNAP recipients for local produce at the five Lexington Farmers’ Market locations, Good Foods Co-op, and Lexington Market East End. The program is a joint effort by the Blue Grass Community Foundation and Bluegrass Farm to Table. The program was won a Food Insecurity Nutrition Incentive grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture.
If you would like to receive email issue updates on local food and/or other Council news from me, please sign up here.
