Did you know you can use EBT benefits like SNAP and Pandemic EBT at farmers markets? Yep! (THREAD)

Many programs even have Double Up programs where SNAP/EBT participants like seniors and families can double the amount of produce they buy with their EBT card. Does your farmers market do this? tag them to find out! @NourishKnox @nashfarmmarket @SoMeFM

SNAP brings $1.75 to our communities for every $1 allotted from the program. Currently we have nearly 900,000 Tennesseans being helped by the SNAP program - that’s a big - and quick - boost to our local economies, great return on investment.

SNAP helps #FeedTN and support local small businesses like our local farms! Healthy food, healthy communities.

The next COVID19 relief bill needs to #BoostSNAPNow to ensure our TN families and children have food on the table. The pandemic isn’t over and many families are still in need.

Bc COVID19, all SNAP households are receiving the max amount to meet the increased need and increased hunger during the pandemic. If you or someone you know needs help buying groceries, now is the time to apply! Even new applicants receive the max. Apply: http://faonlineapp.dhs.tn.gov/
