WFM Market News - September 5, 2024
September is here! Kids back in school, fall produce coming in, and the promise of cooler weather ahead. SNAP and HIP are refreshed for the month, so make sure you get your HIP purchases in early, and don’t forget that we will match up to $10 in SNAP tokens each week.
POP Club members, stop by the SNAP table to check in and pick up your POP Bucks. POP activities may have ended for the season but there’s still plenty to see and discover at the Market!
See you Thursday!
