We currently have 2 options for potential CSA members who demonstrate a financial need: Extended payment program and subsidized shares.
APPLICATIONS FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ARE OPEN!
The GWCSA Neighbors Helping Neighbors Financial Assistance Subsidy and Extended Payment Program is a valuable resource for any member who wants to join the CSA but finds themselves experiencing financial hardship. By the generous donations of our members, we have been able to subsidize dozens of memberships over the last decade. It is our mission to make organic, local produce accessible to everyone in the Greenpoint-Williamsburg Community.
GWCSA Extended payment option program
The GWCSA Extended Payment Option allows members to pay for their CSA shares (veggie, fruit, eggs, flowers) over the course of six months.
Note: Add-ons must be paid in one or three (3) installments and an application must be submitted to qualify.
GWCSA Subsidy program
The GWCSA Subsidy Program provides discounts to members that are currently receiving public assistance. This includes but is not limited to: unemployment, SNAP, Social Security (SSI), Disability, (SSD), welfare, Medicaid, public housing residency, or Section 8 voucher. The subsidy offers up to 50% off the vegetable share price with an extended payment schedule and waived membership fee.
Note: funds are distributed based on the number of approved applicants. Proof of public assistance must be submitted with the application.
