The Roots Program has helped community residents access affordable, healthy, local food at a reasonable cost with the SNAP-EBT program. As a SNAP-authorized vendor, our customers can use their SNAP benefits to purchase local produce and protein from The Food Hub. SNAP customers can use the Double Bucks incentive program, which offers a 50% discount on eligible items, and double their fresh fruit and vegetable purchases with EBT.
