Great news! The SNAP Matching Program has been funded for the 2024 market season. Thank you to the generosity of our partners and grantors for making the Market and Matching Program possible.
Visit the Info Booth – Look for the Yellow & White Tent
Community members shopping with EBT (such as SNAP or Summer EBT/SUN Bucks) should stop by the market’s Info Booth to obtain tokens with their EBT card, and receive a bonus match of up to $20 in free Market Money & Food Bucks per market visit.
Senior and WIC customers with FMNP vouchers (often called farmers market checks), should also stop by the Info Booth for a match!
Examples of how it works:
Our volunteers will walk you through the program so you can make the most of your dollars at the market, bringing home more fresh food for your family.
| Amount of EBT/SNAP you want to use | SNAP Tokens Received | Combination of Market Money & Food Bucks Received | Total available to spend |
| $8.00 | $8.00 (16x fifty-cent tokens) | $8.00 | $16.00 |
| $20.00 | $20.00 (40x fifty-cent tokens) | $20.00 | $40.00 |
| $30.00 | $30.00 (60x fifty-cent tokens) | $20.00 | $50.00 |
Why we do this:
We value the great taste and health benefits of fresh, local food. We believe that good local food should be accessible to everyone, regardless of income. Oftentimes, SNAP benefits cannot cover all a household needs to have nutritious meals–that’s where our Matching Program comes in: we provide extra dollars to help boost buying power at the market. All the while, these funds support local farmers with the purchase of their products. It’s great for our area residents and our local farmers!
