Washington’s SNAP Market Match has been a pivotal support for families wanting to stretch their healthy food budge. Over the last few years, we have learned a lot about how helping Washingtonians eat healthy.
Demand for the program in the last two years has grown faster than expected. Because of this, we are making some changes to the program to make sure it can continue. The daily cap available for SNAP Market Match participants will move to $25/day starting January 1, 2023. This will allow the program to support people consistently if funding changes.
Look for the SNAP Market Match currency, logo, and vendor signs at local farmers markets.
At more than 100 participating farmers markets and farm stands, customers who use the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)/EBT benefits can stretch their food budget to buy more fruits and vegetables!
