Campaign for HIP Funding Call to Action

August 2024: Please collect and share stories about how HIP has worked for farmers that participate in the program and households that receive SNAP! The Campaign will share these stories with lawmakers to support our advocacy. You can see examples of stories we’ve collected in the past here. Pl;ease reach out to Rebecca Miller with any questions.


If you are a HIP farmer vendor or serve SNAP clients: please print out this sign and hang in your farm stand, farmers’ market booth, or office, or print out the flyer in postcard size to share. You can also share this form directly with clients in your newsletter. Note, HIP customers are welcome to share their thoughts anonymously!

If you are a HIP customer, please fill out a postcard (template here) about your HIP experience, take a picture of it, and send it to [email protected].

The story sharing flyer (standard letter and postcard sizes) and form are available in Spanish, as well! Many thanks to Groundwork Lawrence to translating.
