Farmers Market Program Boosts SNAP Benefits, Helping Families Access Fresh Food

The Farmers Market Program enhances purchasing power for families using the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, enabling better access to fresh food and nutritious options.

• At the Wrightstown Farmers Market in Bucks County, Pa., families can use their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits to increase purchasing power through donor-funded programs.
• Participants in the program can convert $60 in SNAP benefits into approximately $80, allowing them to buy locally sourced produce and dairy products.
• This initiative aligns with the United States Department of Agricultures efforts to promote food security and access to healthy food choices among low-income families.
