Food Forward – Advancing Access for ALICE

Food Forward helps working families whose household income is too high to qualify for government assistance programs, such as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), but still struggle to afford groceries.

The program provides a monthly subsidy for groceries based on household size and needs. This not only eases financial stress for families but also supports local businesses like farmers and grocers who are approved vendors. It’s a simple, stigma-free way to make healthy food more affordable.

This program is partnered with

Jacks Fruit and Meat Market

for providing vendor access for food subsidies.
