Administered by Fair Food Network and offered at 44 SpartanNash corporate-owned stores throughout Michigan, the Double Up Food Bucks produce incentive program is a national model for healthy food initiatives with support from federal, state and private sources.<\/p>

The Double Up Food Bucks program enables Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants to earn free produce when they buy fresh fruits and vegetables with their SNAP benefit at participating retailers.<\/p>

In partnership with\u00a0Fair Food Network<\/strong><\/a>, SpartanNash has offered the Double Up program at select Family Fare stores since 2014, expanding the program to VG\u2019s Grocery for the first time in 2017. In total, 44 SpartanNash corporate-owned stores in Michigan participate in Double Up Food Bucks (see below for full list of participating stores), making it easier than ever for SNAP store guests to take advantage of the program \u2013 and double their buying power when it comes to fresh fruits and vegetables.<\/p>

For each dollar of fresh produce SNAP customers purchase using their EBT Bridge Card and\u00a0yes<\/em> account at participating Family Fare and VG\u2019s Grocery locations, an equivalent amount of dollars will be earned and placed on their yes<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>account for a future purchase, up to $20 per day. Shoppers can then redeem the dollars for free fruits and vegetables.<\/p>
