Helping Families Regain Stability
SNAP at Market is an innovative program that enables SNAP beneficiaries to use their SNAP dollars at the Farmers Market and get up to $20 in matching funds for the purchase of fresh, local fruits and vegetables. Out of four such markets in Fairfax County, Cornerstones' SNAP at Market, which is located at Reston Farmers Market every Saturday morning from May to November, is the most successful in terms of number of SNAP dollars spent and matching funds received.
