Do you have a SNAP/EBT card? Do you want two times the veggies you’re buying now for FREE? Double Up Food Bucks is a SNAP-incentive program aimed at doing just that. At participating Cedar Valley farmers markets and grocery stores every dollar you spend on fruits and vegetables on your EBT card (up to $10 a day) can be matched for extra dollars for more fruits and vegetables. Simply use your SNAP card at participating locations below to start earning and get eating.
Getting started earning is as easy as bringing your card to one of these locations! At farmers markets, there will be an information booth that’ll help get you started. Simply bring your card to the booth attendees, let them know how much you’d like to spend on fruits and vegetables that day (up to $10/day), swipe your card, and receive market tokens and Double Up Food Buck cards to spend with your local vendors! If you don’t spend all your tokens or cards in one day, you can take them home and bring them back to use next time.
