Supported Food Incentives
To encourage civic agriculture in Wyandotte County, the KCKFM collaborates with organizations and farmers to assist in the distribution and acceptance of food assistance programs like SNAP (food stamps), Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB), Kansas Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) and the Market match for SFMNP as well as El Centro Bucks.
Double Up Food Bucks provides matching funds for SNAP customers—up to $25 per day—to buy fresh fruits and vegetables. In the KC metro area, the Double Up Food Bucks program is a partnership between Mid-America Regional Council and Cultivate KC. This program greatly increases the impact of our market. You can find more information on the Double Up Heartland Collaborative website.
Market Match is a program from Cultivate KC that provides extra funds for participants in the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP). Seniors who have signed up for SFMNP just need to visit the market to receive your additional Market Match coupons.
