 We came here about six months ago because our daughter got sick and it was really hard. We were able to get on food stamps. We were lucky enough that they do a double dollars program where they double the snap dollars. She gets to eat and we get to eat healthier and we get to make better choices because of this program. It was so wonderful because we were able to come here and thrive. Not even survive. We were able to go past that. The 1st of July 2016 Live All Colorado launched the statewide initiative Double Up Food Bucks. At the core of it really to improve access to fresh fruits and vegetables for low income Coloradans. The Double Up Food program is great. I think it's good that you can go and spend ten dollars and you're doubling your money by getting twenty dollars worth of fruits and vegetables. I'm often buying quick meals, fast food, and that's not a good thing for our health. I would like for me and my kids to go a different route and eat healthy. Double Up Food Bucks makes sure that low income families not only have access to healthy food to feed their families, not as dollars that stays in the local community and supports our Colorado farmers. Honestly the Double Up Food Bucks program, the fact that it happened this year, has saved my market. This grant has quintupled the number of food stamps users that we have at the market. I mean so that's money that's coming into the market we would not have seen. It brings people to the market and when there's more people at the market that helps all of my vendors. So we're not only putting food on tables, all my other 30 vendors might have been out of a revenue source this year if it were not for the Double Up Colorado Food Bucks program. We are learning every day from our partners all across the state, farmers markets, farm stands, food retailers, what's working and what isn't so that we can grow this bigger and better next year and the year after that. A lot of our blue collar workers that are hardest workers in the world are are on snap and because they just simply they're doing the best they can or they've been laid off or the economy is tough but I mean ruin is a right to pure food. We wanted to build out this initiative Double Up Food Bucks across the state of Colorado in rural, urban and suburban communities to just make it a little bit easier for low-income residents in this instance recipients of SNAP or the food stamps program to buy and consume fresh fruits and vegetables from Colorado farmers. We lack a lot of access in this neighborhood to fresh fruits and vegetables so we want to be here because we want to support communities that want to eat healthy. I think what some people who maybe have never been on that part of the time so understand is that it costs a lot of money to be poor. Any emergency will end you and that includes any kind of food emergency. So at Level Colorado we don't want anyone to ever have to choose between being hungry or being healthy. Thank you guys for providing the Double Up Food Program. She was skinny as a rail when we came here and now with the food that we've been able to provide for her she's been gaining weight, she's been more active, she's trying to do things on her own more and it's been phenomenal.
