SNAP at Jeffco Farmers Markets
About Food Assistance
Food insecurity is a significant issue in Colorado, with 11 percent of our state’s population living in poverty. Many of these Coloradans rely on food assistance programs like SNAP (formerly food stamps), which serves more than 485,000 Coloradans a month. However, most SNAP recipients receive $1.41 per meal or $4.23 per day in benefits making it a challenge to have enough money to buy food for the whole month.
Double Up Food Bucks
Double Up Food Bucks Colorado [external link] allows SNAP shoppers to bring home more fresh fruits and vegetables. When customers spend $1 on any SNAP eligible item (meat, bread, eggs, milk, etc.), they receive $1 for Colorado grown, fresh fruits and vegetables. It is a $1:$1 match so if you spend $5, you get $5. If you spend $10, you get $10, up to $20 every time you visit one of our participating locations.
