Be a supporter of Heirloom Farmers Markets and Nourish your neighbors!

DONATE TODAY

As many of you are aware, the government shutdown left many of our loyal SNAP customers without the nutritional assistance they rely on. This disruption affected not only the several hundred individuals and families who shop with SNAP each week, but also the local farmers and vendors who depend on SNAP and the Double Up Food Bucks (DBFA) program to bring Arizona-grown food to our community.

With the help of our partner Pinnacle Prevention, we quickly launched an emergency voucher program to get fresh, healthy staples to those who need them most. In just two weeks, we distributed $31,000 in Food Bucks Now vouchers to SNAP customers.

With families feeling uncertain about whether their benefits will continue, we’re here to Nourish Our Neighbors and provide support when it’s needed most. With the help of community donations, we are also offering food vouchers to customers who need help getting fresh food.

Your tax-deductible year-end donation will go directly to supporting food access, local farmers, and family-owned small businesses.

Thank you for being here with us, supporting our farmers and the families who rely on our markets.

Over the past several years, we have seen the world change in many ways, which has led to increased food insecurity in our community. In response to this crisis, local food systems have had a critical role in expanding food access. Despite the hardships we have faced, HeirloomFM is looking forward to better years ahead to support our food community and our local farmers and producers.

“The SNAP/Double Up Farm Bucks program has enabled me to afford exceptional quality produce. Without this program, the opportunity to shop at the market would not be possible, or would be extremely limited for me. Also, being able to befriend the farmers and see the benefits of their hard work in my life has given me renewed purpose in my own.”

– Nicole, SNAP EBT Customer

Your gift, of any amount, is greatly appreciated and directly supports:

• Access to local healthy food for customers with SNAP/EBT, and FMNP WIC/Senior food benefits who rely on their purchases to be matched with a dollar-for-dollar program spent directly with our local food producers. In 2025, our market customers redeemed $167K in SNAP, $150K in AZ Double Up Food Bucks, and $100K in FMNP dollars.
• The infrastructure for more than 45 local farmers and 250 small businesses that otherwise may not survive. At our markets, producers sell directly to customers, and you can truly know your farmer!

Thank you to our amazing customers, vendors, volunteers, and staff.

We are able to operate because of YOU!

Your donation to Heirloom Farmers Markets supports the communities we serve: in the fields, in the markets and on our tables across Southern Arizona. We thank you for your generosity to help keep our markets growing!

“The staff at Heirloom Farmers Markets did a great job at keeping the markets running safely during the pandemic. Thanks to their efforts, we could grow a product that our customers could enjoy!”

– Guillermo Nido of Nido Farms
