Supporting Local Economies and Access to Healthy, Affordable Food

Our Double Up Food Bucks program, which matches SNAP benefits (formerly known as food stamps) spent on fruits and vegetables, was born in our home state of Michigan. Since 2009, we’ve expanded access to healthy food and sparked economic opportunity for more than 250 Michigan communities, from St. Ignace to Benton Harbor. Double Up has become a model for similar statewide programs, helping people across the country put nutritious food on the table.
