You can double the value of your food benefits when you shop at participating markets in Wyoming! This program provides a dollar-match so that you can get twice as much food as you pay for.
In this article, we’ll review what this program is, who is eligible for it, and how you can get started.
What is Double Up Food Bucks?
Double Up Food Bucks is a nationwide organization that is dedicated to helping low income shoppers get more healthy food with their food benefits. The program provides a nutrition incentive by doubling the buying power of your food stamps at participating markets.
In Wyoming, this program is administered by the Wyoming Food for Thought Project. This project also coordinates the Power of Produce Program (or POP Program) for kids, which provides free food for children!
Who is eligible for this program?
Anyone who shops with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits at participating markets in Wyoming is eligible to participate.
You don’t even have to be a resident of the state to do this.
Where can I use these benefits?
Although there are many Farmers Markets that offer these benefits, the Wyoming Food for Thought Project has not published a list.
I was also unable to aggregate one because extensive searches revealed only one participant. Interestingly, the same news report that showed that Sheridan Farmers Market participated also claimed that participation for this program is very low. That is most likely because it is so poorly advertised. I have reached out to the organizers for a list of participating markets.
| City | Name | Address |
| Sheridan | Sheridan Farmers Market | 55 E Grinnell Plaza Sheridan WY 82801 |
Summary
The Double Up Food Bucks Program in Wyoming is a great way to maximize your food benefits. This dollar-matching program will double the buying power of your food benefits when you shop at participating markets. However, it is very poorly advertised and is difficult to find participating markets. I recommend reaching out to your local market to see if they participate.
