Double Up Food Bucks is a statewide program through the Fair Food Network. It matches SNAP benefits used to buy fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables at participating grocers and farmers markets.
Back in November, SNAP benefit recipients were on edge, wondering if money would be available to feed themselves and their families.
The program extended its offerings in November, introducing Double Up bonus bucks, offering $40 vouchers for fresh fruits and veggies. Those incentives end December 31st.
Rachel Hoh is director of Double Up Food Bucks. They spoke to me about the program and its significance to shoppers and local grocers.
