Did you know that there are 90,250 food insecure individuals living in Hamilton County? 

53% of these folks qualify for nutrition assistance programs, including SNAP. 

The SNAP Plus/Produce Perks program at Findlay Market helps families afford more fresh fruits and vegetables and other healthy food typically found in the Findlay Farmers Market.

Over the last year, we have distributed $39,890 in SNAP tokens, and an additional $33,313 in Produce Perks matching tokens to nearly 2,000 shoppers. 

This is a great start, but we need to do more.

No child should go to school hungry. No senior should have to choose between rent and groceries.

We need your help to reach even more individuals in need. To spread the word about this amazing program, and to get more fresh produce into the hands of those who need it most. 

Will you donate today to help feed your neighbors in need?

How it works: Since 2007, low-income shoppers have been able to exchange their EBT dollars for one-dollar brass or yellow plastic tokens that they can spend like cash in our farmers market. Produce Perks enhances this service by providing shoppers a match to their spending. The incentive is a dollar-for-dollar match. Each dollar in SNAP tokens exchanged is matched with a dollar in free Produce Perks fruit and vegetable tokens (up to $25 a day). This effectively doubles EBT shoppers purchasing power of healthy fresh food at the market.
