TRIPLE YOUR SNAP BENEFITS AT GSFM
This year, we’ve increased the support we can offer SNAP recipients! Anyone shopping with SNAP benefits can stretch their dollars even further at GSFM. On the first market of every month, SNAP recipients can triple their spending power at GSFM — $20 in SNAP benefits = $60 to spend with GSFM local farmers and vendors. At all other markets, SNAP recipients can double their SNAP dollars, receiving an additional $12 for fresh produce and $8 for meat and eggs to spend with participating vendors.
