Fair Food Network - Double Up Food Bucks Program

Mission: To create a food system that upholds the fundamental right to healthy, fresh, and sustainably grown food.

At Fair Food Network, we believe nothing is as important to our future as food. Food matters. It connects us like few things. It reflects our culture and traditions. It heals and sustains us. And it has outsized environmental, social, and political impact. We launched Fair Food Network in 2009 with an entrepreneurial spirit and an unwavering commitment to our mission: to increase access to healthy food for families who need it most, while creating opportunities for American farmers and stimulating local economies.

Fair Food Network’s Double Up Food Bucks program doubles the value of federal nutrition (SNAP or food stamps) benefits spent at participating markets and grocery stores, helping people bring home more healthy fruits and vegetables while supporting local farmers. The wins are three-fold: low-income consumers eat more healthy food, local farmers gain new customers and make more money, and more food dollars stay in the local economy.
