HOUSTON, Texas -- Six area farmers markets are allowing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program customers to double their spending power.
Local nonprofit Urban Harvest's Double Up Houston program is now offering a $30 spending match at area farmers markets for those who receive benefits through SNAP or the pandemic-specific P-SNAP.
Urban Harvest will match expenses up to $30 to double customers' spending abilities. New customers can also receive a $5 coupon.
Customers can use Lonestar or Electronic Benefit Transfer cards to qualify for the match program; they can then apply the match to in-person purchases or online pickup orders from the farmers markets.
