Maximizing S-EBT Benefits with Double Up Food Bucks
With the cost of groceries on the rise, it is more important than ever for families to make the most of their SNAP or Summer EBT benefits.
The Double Up Food Bucks Program allows families to double-up their savings on qualified purchases of fruits and vegetables, from participating locations. That means, if a family spends $20 on fresh fruits and vegetables, families can receive another $20 to spend on additional produce.
How it works:
- Go to participating Farmers Markets or grocery stores
- Shop for eligible foods with your SNAP or Summer EBT benefits
- Get free fruits and vegetables! Double Up Food Bucks will match purchases dollar for dollar (Up to $20 per day) to bring home more fresh fruits and veggies.
