The HLFM advises that due to Covid-19 the Market is very different from last year. A volunteer will be at the entrance with sanitizer spray for customer's hands. There is only one entrance and one exit, one-way flow, and everyone in the Market must wear a mask.
The Market will continue to match SNAP up to $20 per market, per customer. The SNAP tent will be located near the entrance to the Market and a SNAP volunteer will process SNAP/EBT and give SNAP customers their Bonus Bucks to use at HLFM Markets. WIC and SFMNP coupons are also welcome at the Market.
