Access Programs & Services
Our access programs ensure equitable food access in Western Nevada County by mobilizing volunteers to rescue excess produce and empowering residents to stretch their food dollars through nutrition incentives.

Gold Country Gleaning Program organizes volunteers to harvest fresh, seasonal produce that would otherwise go to waste and delivers to the Food Bank of Nevada County and Interfaith Food Ministry which distributes to households all over Nevada County.
Nevada County Market Match
Spend your EBT/SNAP dollars locally!
To participate, customers will present their EBT card. Customers can make purchases and be matched up to $10 at each market throughout the season.
Why access matters to everyone
Gold Country Gleaners and Market Match are programs that directly impact our community and its ability to be resilient and healthy. By redistributing food that would otherwise go to waste, we support a healthier community.
