BOSTON —

The Copley Square Farmer’s Market and other local organizations are making it clear they’re still accepting government assistance for food purchases as the Thanksgiving season approaches.

“We still can give out SNAP tokens for anyone who still has a SNAP balance, you can still use your HOP throughout the month because it’s a state-funded program,” said Zoie Schwartz, food access coordinator at the farmer’s market.

The market is also trying to limit food waste by donating leftover food.

“We, at the end of the day, partner with Brookline Food Rescue, so any excess food crops that the farmers have can be donate[d],” Schwartz said.
