A testimonial from a Double Up shopper: "Double Up Food Bucks has encouraged me and allowed me to connect more with my local farmers and food markets, as well as feel more connected to the food that I feed my body. Double Up Food Bucks makes it easy to choose to buy local and sustainable products that support the livelihoods of my community and myself." |

“The Double Up Food Bucks Program gave me the chance to support local farmers and buy fresh produce when otherwise I wouldn’t have had sufficient funds to do so.”
- Double Up Food Bucks participant “Buying local healthy food is very very important to me and I want to see everyone in our community get the chance to be able to participate. I value the connection between food and community and think that the Double Up program is an important piece of allowing this to be possible.” -Double Up Food Bucks supporter “We have a lot of regular customers who shop with us each week using their Double Up tokens. The program is helpful for them because it makes our products more affordable and they do not have to feel like they are making a sacrifice when choosing nutritious bread over grocery store bread.” - Farmers' Market Vendor, Between the Trees |
