Double Up Food Bucks

Double Up Food Bucks is a SNAP (food stamps) matching program providing dollar-for-dollar matching at regional farmers’ markets. Douglas County has partnered with organizations across Kansas and Missouri to expand healthy food access in our states.

​​​​We’ll double your dollars for buying fruits and vegetables with your SNAP (food stamps/EBT) card.

We’ll match every $1 you spend at participating farmers markets and grocery stores in Kansas and Missouri with another $1 FREE so you can buy more fruits and vegetables, up to $25 more per day.

The way Double Up Food Bucks works at farmers markets is different than at grocery stores. Learn how below.
