Food Assistance Match, Inc. (FAM) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing access to fresh, nutritious food from local farmers and small businesses for individuals and families who are most in need.
Through its novel, dignity-first approach, FAM addresses food insecurity challenges while supporting the enterprises and communities that are the fabric of southwestern Pennsylvania at select farmers markets in the region.
Overall, by supporting local farmers and businesses, FAM is contributing to the health and sustainability of local food systems, while also improving access to healthy food for individuals and families on food assistance benefits.
- Access to new customers: By participating in the Food Assistance Match program,, vendors can reach a new customer base of low-income individuals and families who may not have been able to afford their products otherwise.
- Improved relationships with the community: FAM aims to improve access to healthy food for low-income individuals and families, allowing vendors to meaningfully contribute to a vibrant local community.
- Reduced food waste: By selling more produce through FAM, vendors can reduce the amount of food waste they generate and contribute to a more sustainable food system.
- Positive impact on the local economy: FAM helps to keep money circulating within the local economy by supporting local farmers and small businesses, which has a positive impact on vendors' businesses.
- Promotion of healthy eating: By participating in a program that promotes healthy eating habits, vendors can position themselves as advocates for healthy lifestyles.
- Ease of use: FAM transactions are designed in a way so they take no more or less time than any other transaction. This allows the vendors to focus on what they do best - selling their products.
- Increased sales: By incentivizing low-income individuals and families to purchase fresh, locally grown produce, FAM can help to increase demand for vendors' products.
