This summer, Food $ense is partnering with the Highline School District to provide nutrition education for summer school students. F$ educators are working with third graders at Hazel Valley and Madrona Elementary Schools, as well as students at Sylvester, Chinook, and Pacific Middle Schools.
Summer is the perfect time for visiting a Farmers Market. Especially when you are lucky enough to live near a really good one, like the Renton Farmers Market. For the first time this season, Renton Farmers Market is accepting SNAP benefits and allowing shoppers to make purchases using EBT, in addition to WIC and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program vouchers. Thanks to a lot of hard work from market manager Carrie Olson and her team, accepting SNAP at the Renton Farmers Market allows everyone in our community to have access to fresh, healthy food!
