SNAP Match Programs

There are many reasons why fruits and vegetables might not make it into your diet. The Washington State Department of Health and other organizations across the state are working together to offer SNAP Match programs that make fruits and vegetables easier to buy.

Currently, there are two Snap Match programs available in Whatcom County:

SNAP Market Match matches Basic Food benefits (SNAP/ EBT/ Food Stamps) dollar-for-dollar when you purchase $25 or more worth of fresh produce at participating farmers markets.

In Whatcom County, SNAP Market Match is available at the Bellingham Farmers Market, Twin Sisters Farmers Markets in Birchwood, Deming, and Kendall, Lynden Farmers Market, and EN Valley Farmers Market in Everson.

Fresh vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, herbs, and food-producing plants and seeds at participating markets.

Markets match $25 or more per day. Check with your local market for their daily match amount.

Contact your local market directly with further questions.
