Statewide discussions around SNAP & double up food bucks: Focus groups and regional convenings

Texas, with some of the fastest growing population centers in the country, is experiencing increased pressure on affordable cost of living, hitting low-income residents especially hard when it comes to basic needs like food. To address inequity in access to healthy food, Sustainable Food Center (SFC) has been working in partnership with organizations across the state to launch and support Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB), a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) incentive program, at local farmers’ markets and grocery stores. The overarching goal of this project was to inform recommendations for the DUFB Program enhancement including ways to bolster the program’s reach, delivery and ensure fidelity across multiple geographies.
