AMAZING NEWS!!

On Tuesday, Governor Healey signed the supplemental budget that includes reinstating the Massachusetts Healthy Incentive Program back to $40 - $60 - $80 a month!

Many thanks to Governor Maura Healey and all of the HIP advocates for their hard work.

This program isn't only important for struggling residents, but it is extremely important for our produce farmers who are also struggling. It is a WIN-WIN for our community!
