Market Match: Local SNAP Benefits
|
We believe farmers markets should benefit farmers, shoppers, and the wider community. Through Market Match, we offer incentives to consumers with high need to purchase the best local produce available at our markets and at partner retailers across New Orleans. Starting January 1st, 2025, Market Match will be capped to $40 per visit, allowing us to match each EBT/SNAP dollar being swiped on-site at the orange Welcome Tent up to $40. Note that while the cap is per market visit, shoppers utilizing EBT/SNAP dollars can still enjoy the benefit at each of our three weekly markets! Market Match tokens can be used on fresh fruits, vegetables, and fruit-bearing plants, and never expire. Questions? Please reach out to markets@marketumbrella.org. |

Market Match for SNAP
There are now so many ways to Market Match! Here’s how Market Match works:
At Crescent City Farmers Markets
First, purchase wooden tokens from the Market’s Welcome Tent with your Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card. EBT tokens can be used to purchase any item at the market that you’d normally swipe your EBT card for in a store. Through Market Match, we’ll match each EBT dollar you spend, up to $40 per market visit, with additional tokens that can be used to purchase fruits, vegetables, and even food-bearing plant starts!
Parents whose children receive Summer Pandemic-EBT can also use Market Match to double their P-EBT credit. Market Umbrella extends Market Match to most major food benefit programs, including P-EBT, FMNP, SNAP, and WIC. For more information about Summer P-EBT click here.
