Double Up Food Bucks: A Summer Lifeline for Families

As the summer months heat up, ensuring that your family has access to fresh, nutritious food becomes even more crucial. The Double Up Food Bucks program is here to help, providing an incredible opportunity for families to stretch their food budgets and enjoy more fruits and vegetables. Here's why this program is beneficial for families during the summer:

  • Boost Your Benefits: For every dollar you spend on SNAP-eligible foods, you receive an additional dollar (up to $10 daily) to spend on fresh fruits and vegetables. This means you can increase the amount of healthy, fresh produce you bring home each week.

  • Improve Nutrition: Summer is the perfect time to enjoy a variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables that are both delicious and packed with essential vitamins and minerals.

  • Support Local Farmers: By participating in the Double Up Food Bucks program, you're not just feeding your family healthy food; you're also supporting local farmers and your community.
