Fresh SNAP

Come Join The Farmer’s Market Family!
We now accept SNAP Benefits!

fresh-snapThe Polson Farmers Market Co-op is a proud partner in the Fresh SNAP project. Bringing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients easy access to our local fresh market place  along with helping recipients make healthier food choices.

Join Fresh SNAP

The Polson Farmers Market currently accepts SNAP benefits by swiping an EBT card, in exchange for tokens that each qualified food vendor accepts. Fresh SNAP would use matching monetary incentives from donations within the community, of up to $10 at the point-of-sale, per week to encourage households that receive SNAP benefits to purchase fresh and local fruits, vegetables, milk, meats, eggs, plants & edible produce seeds. For example: If a recipient swipes their card to receive tokens for $10, they would automatically receive ten more “sponsored” dollars in tokens, per market week.

ebtTo join Fresh SNAP simply come to the market and stop by the Market Masters booth located in the center of the market and present your EBT card to receive your SNAP and Fresh SNAP tokens for your purchases of program eligible food items.

Be A Sponsor

Please become a proud sponsor by donating to the Fresh SNAP match dollars. Your generous donation, no matter how large or small, will go toward providing participants $10 in tokens to stretch their weekly SNAP benefits purchase of plants, fruits, vegetables and other healthy foods.
