When a person eligible for SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) uses his or her SNAP Bridge Card to shop for food at a farmers' market, the amount of money that he or she spends is matched with Double Up Food Bucks bonus tokens.

How It Works

When a person eligible for SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) uses his or her SNAP Bridge Card to shop for food at a farmers' market, the amount of money that he or she spends is matched with Double Up Food Bucks bonus tokens. The tokens can then be exchanged for Michigan-grown fruits and vegetables.

Shoppers visit the Bridge Card booth/tent at their market and get their Bridge Card tokens

Shoppers get an equal amount, up to $20, of Double Up Food Bucks tokens.

Shoppers spend their tokens with vendors at the market. Bridge Card tokens can be spend on any SNAP-eligible food items. DUFB tokens are for Michigan-grown fruits and vegetables only.
