Youth Diversion provides an alternative to arrest for young people involved with the justice system, and Holly advocated for equitable access to diversion services for young people across the state.

🧺SNAP recipients in Massachusetts automatically can access HIP (Healthy Incentives Program) using their EBT card at an eligible farm vendor! We often hear, "I had no idea I could access HIP! How does it work? Read below for more info!

✅HIP amount is based on SNAP Household size, $40 for 1-2, $60 for 3-5, or $80 for 6+.
✅HIP is available starting the 1st of each month.
✅HIP does not rollover from month to month. For example, if you do not use all of your HIP in October, you will NOT have access to unused October the following month.
✅HIP helps you purchase fresh produce from participating farms. Find participating farms here: dtafinder.com
✅When you are at a participating farm stand, let the farm staff know that you will be using HIP. As long as you have $.01 of SNAP benefits on your EBT card, they will be able to run your card for the amount of HIP you want to use.
✅You do not need to use your HIP benefits all at once. The DTA system will know how much you have used for the month and your receipt from the farmer will provide an update too.
