The program was created in 2022 by Carrie Olson, Farmers Market Coordinator, and two of the City’s AmeriCorps VISTAs, Sophie DeWitt and Victoria Kvitek. This program offers healthy food to folks in need, while at the same time providing more sales opportunities for local Washington farmers. Funds from the Veterans, Seniors, and Human Services Levy (VSHSL) grant are used to purchase fresh produce on Market Tuesdays. The next day, participants choose fruits and vegetables in a “farmers market” venue at the housing facility, and receive recipe cards and helpful tips for keeping produce fresh. Cooking demonstrations are offered by WSU’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP Ed) program at the housing facility. • For everyone’s enjoyment in and around City parks and trails, patrons are reminded to be familiar with and follow Parks Rules and Regulations (Renton Municipal Code 2-9-8) or risk being cited by Police.
