Joanna recently attended the California Nutrition Incentive Program Conference, where she connected with partners from across the state and reflected on CHC's role in supporting Market Match.

"Everyone was welcoming, supportive, and informative, making the conference super unique," she shared. "The conference made me proud of the work our team has done to contribute to the success of the Market Match program... It was rewarding to see the impact of those efforts, connect with others facing similar challenges, and learn more about the advocacy work to continue offering nutrition incentive programs like Market Match." Experiences like these help strengthen partnerships and inspire our continued work to improve access to healthy, local food.
