Write a commentThe Fulton Lions Club, in partnership with the Greater Oswego-Fulton Chamber of Commerce (GOFCC), is underwriting the cost of NY State Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) one-dollar vouchers for use at the Fulton Farmers Market.
To be eligible, one must have an EBT/SNAP card with funds available on it. Participants will be eligible for a maximum of $10 SNAP Match per market from the Lions Club. They are part of the state’s Double Up Food Bucks program that helps participants stock up on more fruits and vegetables.
Taylor Davis, GOFCC member engagement and operations coordinator, will have a table set up at every market with EBT tokens and Lions SNAP Match. Anyone using SNAP benefits, or who has an EBT card, is automatically eligible for the program.
