Tarrant Area Food Bank Hosting Farmers Market In Arlington

Press release from the City of Arlington:

May 18, 2021

The Tarrant Area Food Bank is bringing its Farmers Market Nutrition Program to Arlington Thursday, May 20, 2021. The program allows eligible WIC participants to use food vouchers for fresh produce.

Families are invited to the pop-up market at the Dan Dipert CTE Center (2101 Browning Drive) from 9 until 11 a.m. Eligible WIC recipients will need to bring a current shopping list to register onsite. Then, the market will provide $30 worth of vouchers (per eligible client) which can be used to buy locally-grown fruits, vegetables and herbs.

The market is also open to the public. Vendors accept cash, cards and EBT/SNAP along with the WIC vouchers. While there is rain in the forecast, the Tarrant Area Food Bank has coordinated with Arlington ISD to provide a covered space to host the market.

The USDA’s WIC program provides supplemental foods, health care referrals and nutrition education at no cost to low-income pregnant, breastfeeding and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children up to 5 years of age, who are found to be at nutritional risk.
