More folks can use their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for fresh, healthy food at farmers’ markets in Pittsburgh, thanks to Just Harvest, a non-profit advocating for economic justice.

The program works by allowing people to swipe their electronic benefits transfer card at the market and receive wooden tokens that can be exchanged with most vendors to buy food.
