Enhancing Accessibility for Lower-Income Residents through snap/EBT BENeFITS
To enhance accessibility for lower-income residents, we introduced the Federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or EBT Benefits at the market this year. SNAP provides critical nutrition support to underprivileged families.
Double Up Food Bucks Program
We are proud to launch the Double Up Food Bucks program through our partnership with the Idaho Farmers Market Association. This initiative doubles SNAP benefits, offering up to $20 in additional assistance per patron, per market visit.
HOW IT WORKS
- Bring your SNAP/EBT card to the market info booth before you shop.
- Our team will help you exchange your dollars for wooden tokens. For every dollar you will receive a $1 valued wood SNAP token.
- Every dollar, up to $20, exchanged for SNAP tokens, will be matched with FREE DUFB tokens. (I.E. You exchange $20 from your EBT card, you will receive $20 SNAP wooden tokens AND $20 DUFB tokens).
- Exchange your SNAP & DUFB tokens with approved SNAP/DUFB vendors on eligible items. ***SNAP & DUFB tokens have distinct tokens & eligible items. See list below.
- Come back every week and do it again!
