Our Illinois legal team partners with Elgin Downtown Neighborhood Association in support of Link Card Double Value Program offered to low-income families at the Downtown Elgin Harvest Market.
The seasonal outdoor farmers market is located at 200 North Grove Avenue in Downtown Elgin and is open:
- Thursdays, June 2 – October 6
- 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Over 500 people attend the market each week to enjoy live entertainment, a free kids program, local artisan items and locally grown fresh, quality vegetables, fruits, bread, meat, olives and spices. A full list of 2016 vendors, programs and more may be found at their website.
What is the Link Card Double Value Program?
BMO Harris, a local bank, created the “Link Card Double Value Program” to offer additional assistance to low-income families who use Illinois Link Cards.
In three easy steps, low-income families can receive an additional $20 match, per week, to buy fruits and vegetables and all kinds of groceries. Since the market is open for 18 consecutive weeks, that’s an additional $380 worth of food each family can potentially get throughout the season.
