People with SNAP, WIC, Senior, and other nutrition services can use their benefits at the market to purchase local raw produce. With the Double-Up-Food-Bucks program we match the dollar amount that each EBT user spends, and give them them that much more money to spend on fresh fruits and vegetables!
