We know the cost of local food is high - so we are now sponsoring families through our Healthy Food = Healthy Families program. Qualifying families receive a $25 a week sponsorship of fresh produce and seafood.

Why is Salt & Soil giving away free food?

We believe that everyone should have access to healthy, fresh, local food regardless of income.

How do I know if I qualify?

Currently we have a very broad criteria - anyone who can't currently justify spending money on local food is eligible. We will choose based on merit and on need. If you are a single person applying for yourself you can still apply.

What will I receive?

You will receive a $25 per week credit to spend on Salt & Soil. We will try to source a variety of produce and seafood as is available. In 2020 we developed a series of recipes to help our partipants learn to utilize a variety of our most commonly available ingredients.

How do I sign up?

Send a email to saltandsoil@ecotrust.org or call (907) 723-9211. There is a waiting list for applicants as the program fills up.

Want to Help?

If you want to contribute to the cause, we welcome donations to help us sponsor even more families in our community. Each box is approximately $25 worth of local food, you can sponsor one family for a single box, a month, or even a entire season (12 boxes, $300). Please get in touch if you are interested!
