DSS and Public Health participate in the Santa Barbara County Food Action Network (SBCFAN). The Network has launched a "Stay Home (and Eat Local) for the Holidays" campaign to encourage County residents to avoid large gatherings and enjoy locally sourced holiday meals with their household instead.
Community members are encouraged to visit www.sbcfoodaction.org/holidays or check in at the farmers market info booth for additional information and to pick up a shopping guide (also available on the website). The guide includes budgets, recipes, shopping lists -- and information about the Market Match program, which doubles the CalFresh benefits (up to $10 match per day) spent at participating Farmers Markets.
