The E-B-T money is the money they normally get for food in the form of an electronic card. Dent hopes that the program will see an increase in fruit and vegetable sales to recipients…
The vouchers will be mailed out later this month, and can be redeemed at Farmers Markets in western Nevada County. They will be good through the Farmers Market season, which runs into October. Dent says there are about 35-hundred CalFresh participants in Nevada County.
