Organizations Filed Purposes: Fresh Access Just Harvests Fresh Access program enables food stamp (SNAP) users to use their benefits for high-quality foods at local farmers markets by providing electronic transaction capacity and a token-based redemption system at 20 local farmers markets. The program also offers the convenience of credit and debit payment at these markets for non-food stamp shoppers, expanding its impact for local farmers/vendors and preventing the system from stigmatizing low-income shoppers. The program also enables SNAP users to stretch their food dollars further by receiving healthy food incentives with their purchases. More than 900 food stamp users were served at markets with Just Harvests direct on-site presence. More than 3,600 other customers also used the service during the year. Many more were served by partner markets that receive marketing and technical support from Just Harvests Fresh Access program.

Just Harvest Education Fund conducts community-based programming to inform and educate residents about the causes and extent of hunger and to challenge incorrect stereotypes about people struggling with hunger. Activities include speaking presentations, poverty simulation exercises, fact sheets, newsletters, work with news media, and web site and social media content.

Food Stamp Enrollment Project Just Harvest Education Fund provides assistance to low-income people in completing and submitting food stamp (SNAP) applications to the PA Department of Human Services, community outreach to build awareness of food stamps among potentially eligible households, pre-screening of prospective applicants for estimate of eligibility, post-application assistance in completing and submitting required documentation and follow-up tracking of applications.
