SNAP, WIC and senior checks

The market takes SNAP benefits at its information tent: tell staff how much you want to spend, and they swipe your EBT card and hand you $1 and $5 wooden tokens to use like cash with vendors that show a SNAP sign. The market adds bonus tokens to spend on fresh produce; the town’s page describes a match of up to $20. Tokens do not expire but work only at this market, according to the nutrition assistance page.

Many vendors also accept WIC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program and Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program checks for fresh fruit and vegetables. The market buys about $100 of produce from its farmers each week for the Holly Springs Food Cupboard, and you can drop off food donations at the information tent.
