With food security being more important than ever, it is important that everyone has equal access to participate in our market regardless of their ability to pay. Funded by DC Health and administered by DC Greens, the Produce Plus Program is an important part of providing locally grown, fresh produce to DC residents with limited access to these healthy food necessities. This year, the program – now called Produce Plus Direct – has been modified in support of pick-up and delivery alternatives that align with the social distancing protocols implemented as a result COVID-19. Registration for Produce Plus Direct, which begins July 14 and runs through September 30, opened June 23 with residents able to enroll by calling (202) 888-4834 or visiting dcgreens.org/customers.
