100% More Fresh Food with SNAP

​

SNAP participants can double their benefits at the farmers markets. The Bonus Bucks nutrition incentives program gives a 100% bonus to shoppers using SNAP at all Farm Fresh RI farmers markets and a large number of other markets across RI. That means for every dollar spent with EBT, participants get a FREE dollar in Bonus Bucks to spend on fresh fruits and vegetables at the farmers market.
