Getting ready for the LINK program at the market







This year we are going to be offering a new service at the Farmers Market. For the first time we are going to be able to accept LINK cards. LINK is a program through the State of Illinois that allows food stamp recipients to receive their benefits electronically through the use of a special credit card. To be able to accept the cards we have had to add special electrical and communication lines. This week our Information Tech department and Park Services crews pitched in to help with the installation. Thanks so much guys.



Mark your calendars, the Glenview Farmers Market starts on Saturday, June 25th. We are also looking for volunteers who would like to help with the Market. There are many jobs just waiting for folks who want to lend a hand with this community effort. If you are interested call the Farm at 847-657-1506 and leave a message for Roxanne.
