FMNCP Orientation
Join us to learn everything you need to know about the Farmers' Market Nutrition Coupon Program. We will cover how the program works, market and partner expectations, reporting, food skill building, ways to make the program the best it can be, and more.
You will also be given all of your materials for the season, including your coupons!
Orientations are mandatory for at least 1 person from your organization to attend. Coffee, tea and lunch is provided, plus some travel reimbursement for folks who have to travel.
