We’re thrilled to announce that the BC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Coupon Program (FMNCP) is coming back to the Westside for its second year, and we are now accepting applications!
This healthy eating initiative supports lower-income individuals, families, pregnant people, and seniors. Coupons can be spent at all farmers’ markets that participate in the FMNCP, including Kitsilano Farmers’ Market. They can be used to purchase vegetables, fruits, nuts, eggs, dairy, herbs, vegetable & fruit plants, honey, meat, and fish. Each participant/household will receive $27 coupons for 8 weeks. Coupons can be spent at participating markets until December, 18 (Kitsilano Farmers’ Market runs until Oct 30, 2023). The program in the Westside is administered by Kitsilano Neighbourhood House and made possible thanks to Vancouver Farmers Markets’ Fresh For Families Fund.
To apply, please, fill out the application form
here. Applications close on May 31. Given the high demand, we will be selecting coupon recipients via random draw. We will be notifying coupon recipients in early June with details on how to pick up the coupons.
If you have any further questions or need assistance with the application, please, reach out to Iman at imank@kitshouse.org, or call Kits House Front Desk at 604.736.3588 to leave a message.
