The city is partnering on the project with Cleveland-based grassroots organization Food Access Raises Everyone , and Ohio-based non-profit Produce Perks Midwest.
Those who participate will receive $240 in coupons that can be spent between Friday and June 30 at participating produce vendors.
Under the city’s agreement, Produce Perks Midwest will fund $10,000 worth of coupons, and pay FARE $2,000 to run and evaluate the program.
FARE staffers will be stationed at the market to assess shoppers’ eligibility for the program and distribute coupon booklets.
