Offering: Our May Share the Plate Recipient is The Sharing Locker’s Farmer’s Market For 4 years now The Sharing locker has partnered with West Bay Community Action, URI’s S.N.A.P. / food assistance outreach, and West Bay Farm to provide farm-fresh produce 4 months of the year to our Sharing Locker Clients, many of whom may lack access to fresh, healthy produce. Due to the pandemic a vital piece of this effort was curtailed—the senior/disabled $15 vouchers. We are looking to close the gap to continue the Farmer’s Market effort in this upcoming season.
