๐Ÿ’š Supporting Our SNAP Customers ๐Ÿ’š

We know the SNAP benefit shutdown has created challenges for many families. To help bridge the gap, our friends at A&A Acres are offering a free pack of chicken to SNAP/EBT customers.

Just bring your EBT/SNAP card to the Hammond Farmers & Artisans Market Information Tent (where you get your SNAP & SNAP Match tokens) to receive your pack โ€” no purchase necessary, while supplies last.

Weโ€™re so grateful for the generosity of our local producers who continue to care for our community. ๐Ÿ”โœจ

THATS WONDERFUL SOUL, THANK YOU FATHER GOD FOR ALL THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO GIVE IN LOVE.

Giving credit where itโ€™s due! We canโ€™t talk about Juneteenth without honoring the woman who made it her lifeโ€™s mission to see this day nationally recognized, Dr. Opal Lee.

At 98 years young, Dr. Lee has spent decades walking, advocating, and reminding this country that freedom should be celebrated by all. While this marks the first year Dr. Lee wonโ€™t lead her annual walk, her presence, power, and purpose are felt in every Juneteenth celebration across the nation.

Today, we honor you, Dr. Opal Lee. Because of you, we truly can. โค๏ธโœŠ๐Ÿพ
