Arkansas Coalition for Obesity Prevention Double Up Food Bucks

Arkansas Coalition for Obesity Prevention Double Up Food Bucks The Double Up Food Bucks Program increases SNAP participants purchasing power for fruits and vegetables while supporting local growers.

Vision
ArCOP envisions a day when all Arkansans value and practice healthy lifestyles through created and supported opportunities for physical activity and healthy eating. Goal
ArCOP’s goal is to increase the percentage of Arkansans of all ages who have access to healthy and affordable food and who engage in regular physical activity.

Double Up increases low-income shoppers’ purchasing power for fruits and vegetables while supporting local growers. For instance, a family that spends $20 in SNAP benefits at a participating farmers market or grocery store receives an additional $20 in Double Up Food Bucks to bring home locally grown fruits and vegetables. (SNAP stands for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps.) Double Up has garnered a wide array of supporters with advocates pointing to its threefold wins:
getting more healthy food to low-income families;
putting more money in the pockets of local growers;
boosting local food economies.
