TRIPLE SNAP MATCH 
$20 in SNAP = $60 to spend at the market (previously known as food stamps).
Bring your EBT card to the info booth and we triple your dollars to increase fresh food access while directly supporting local vendors! It’s one of the most powerful ways we fight food insecurity and reinvest in the local economy at the same time
