Today, only a little more than 60% of farmers markets across the country accept SNAP. At PAL and Hub City Farmers Market, we are dedicated to increasing a SNAP using family’s food-buying power.
In 2017, Hub City Farmers Market's “Double-SNAP” program put $43,000 of healthy food on the tables of low-income families. The $43,000 spent went directly to vendors and local farmers, supporting our city’s small business industry.
SNAP is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as “Food Stamps.” As a federal nutrition program, it allows members to stretch their food budget and provide easier access healthy food.
We accept SNAP and EBT at our Saturday and Winter Markets. Money is in the form of tokens that do not expire.
Once signed up for SNAP, you can double up to $40 each Saturday, and we’ll give you an extra $15 for fruits and vegetables! That's $95 to spend on delicious foods for your family.
