Farmers’ Markets that DOUBLE SNAP Benefits
CT Fresh Match
End Hunger CT!’s Connecticut Fresh Match Program allows SNAP recipients to double the fruits and vegetables they purchase at participating farmers’ markets across the State. When SNAP recipients shop at participating farmers’ markets, Connecticut Fresh Match doubles SNAP, allowing households to stretch their benefits, incorporate more fresh produce into their diets, and support local farmers. Markets match SNAP with tokens or coupons to be spent on fruits and vegetables. Matched benefits can be spent that day or can be saved for a future market purchase at many participating locations.
STRETCH YOUR FOOD DOLLARS WITH SNAP
When shoppers spend SNAP/EBT at participating markets, we allow markets to increase their customers’ purchasing power. Stretching is a SNAP! Here’s how it works:
