About this organization
Mission
From our signature program, Double Up Food Bucks, which serves as a national model for healthy food incentives, to our impact investing arm, the Fair Food Fund, we are tapping into the potential of food to improve health, ignite local economies, and open opportunities for all — especially in our most underserved communities.
About
The Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB) program encourages SNAP (food payment assistance) recipients to purchase healthy, fresh produce by matching their SNAP expenditures up to $20 with tokens that can be redeemed to purchase additional locally grown produce. The program, which launched in 2009, uses a model that is centrally organized but locally implemented. It is now operational in several farmers' markets and grocery stores throughout Michigan.
