The 2013 Double Up Food Bucks season starts today! Double Up Food Bucks matches the value (up to $20) spent on fruits and vegetables using a Bridge Card at participating farmers’ markets throughout Michigan.
Fair Food Network announced recently a pioneering initiative that will double the value of SNAP benefits when used for fresh produce in participating Detroit groceries. The project builds on Fair Food Network’s successful Double Up Food Bucks program, which doubles the value of SNAP benefits at farmers’ markets throughout Michigan. The grocery project will operate in three independent stores-Honey Bee Market, Metro Foodland and Mike’s Fresh Market – between July 1 and Oct. 31, 2013. This pilot phase is expected to increase access to healthy food for 5,000 low-income Detroiters.
