<p>Summer Associate - Operation Support Muskogee Farmers Market</p> <p>The Muskogee Farmers Market provides a vital community resource by supporting local vendors and increasing access to fresh, healthy food. Serving a community with demonstrated economic need, the market helps reduce food insecurity by accepting multiple nutrition assistance programs, including SNAP, Double Up Oklahoma, WIC, and the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program. These programs make nutritious food more affordable and accessible for low-income households. In addition to food access, the market promotes nutrition education and supports local economic development by creating opportunities for small and beginning producers. However, sustaining these efforts requires strong operational systems and clear documentation. This project focuses on strengthening the market's infrastructure to ensure continuity, improve efficiency, and support future growth. By enhancing the market's capacity to consistently deliver services, this work contributes to long-term reductions in food insecurity and supports improved health and economic outcomes for underserved populations.
