The Double Up Food Bucks program is up and running through the end of market season. Customers swiping their SNAP cards at the market can now receive up to $20 additional dollars to spend on fresh fruits and veggies.
So, how does it work?
1) Swipe your SNAP card at the Market Manager's table with one of our volunteers for however much you'd like to use at the market.
2) Receive $1 SNAP tokens to use at the markets like cash on any SNAP eligible items (produce, honey, maple syrup, eggs, meat, etc.).
3) We'll match your SNAP swipe (up to $20) with $2 silver Double Up tokens to use like cash on
fresh fruits and vegetables.
For example, if you swipe your SNAP card for $16 you'll get $32 worth of tokens - 16 SNAP tokens ($1 each) and 8 silver Double Up tokens ($2 each).
If you swipe your SNAP card for $25, you'll get $45 total - $25 SNAP and $20 Double Up.
If you have any questions, our volunteers are there to help! Just stop by the Market Manager's table.
