 Double Up Food Bucks lets EVT card users say 50% off of fresh produce at participating stores. The Greater Boston Food Bank estimates that 66% more people in eastern Massachusetts will struggle with food insecurity. Molly Kepner of the GBFB believes Double Up will help Bostonians in need maintain good health. I think anytime that we can use SNAP to make sure that folks have access to healthy food and healthy fresh produce is so important. As one of nine participating stores, Davy's supermarket in Roxbury sees the change SNAP can cause firsthand. The response is great. Everyone's excited to be able to save 50% off on their vegetables. Non-SNAP recipients also agree. The 50% off is like giving more fruits and vegetables for the kids and grown up. The Mayor's Office of Food Access will give another $500,000 to the program and it is encouraging any corner store or bodega to apply to become a participating store. In Roxbury, I'm Stephanie Joseph for BUTV10.
