There are several programs in Georgia that can help you double your food benefits! The programs you use will depend on where you are and where you like to shop.
912 Food Farmacy
The 912 Food Farmacy program works with people who receive SNAP, WIC or Medicaid benefits and also have (or are at risk of) developing any diet-sensitive health condition They offer free nutrition classes. People who attend those classes get free produce vouchers that can be redeemed for free fruits or vegetables from either the Forsyth Farmer’s Market or the Farm Truck 912.
The classes happen once per month and include a cooking demo.
Georgia Plant2Plate
This program provides a 50% discount on plant seeds and starts when you shop with your SNAP benefits. you’ll also receive free container gardening kit to help you grow your plants.
This program is only available to people who receive their EBT benefits from the state of Georgia. You have to visit a participating market or farm on the designated event date. When you do, you’ll be able to get 50% off your local fruit and vegetable plant starts and seedlings.
To get the free gardening kit, you will need to purchase at least three plant starts with your benefits. The kit will include pots, soil, gloves, trowels and plant care guides to help you get greater success from your garden.
This program began in April 2020 and is run by Wholesome Wave Georgia and Food Well Alliance. Events have been held at farms across the Atlanta Metro Area. You’ll need to follow Wholesome Wave Georgia for updates on the next event.
Georgia Fresh for Less
Georgia Fresh for Less provides a dollar-for-dollar match program at participating farmers markets. That means that for every dollar you spend with SNAP benefits, you’ll receive an extra dollar that can be used to purchase healthy locally-grown fruits and vegetables.
If you spend $5, you’ll be able to buy $10 worth of food. if you spend $10, you’ll be able to buy $20. Since there’s a $10 maximum, you’ll only be able to get up to $10 in free food even if you spend more than $10 with your SNAP card.
There are Fresh for Less markets all around the state of Georgia.
