About the Double Up Heartland Collaborative

The Double Up Heartland Collaborative is a group of organizations working with Kansas and Missouri farmers markets, farm stands, mobile markets and grocery stores to provide a healthy food incentive program for people who receive food assistance or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.

Over 1.1 million Kansas and Missouri residents rely on federal food assistance via the SNAP program. Double Up Food Bucks makes it easier for low-income families to eat fresh fruits and vegetables while supporting family farmers and growing local economies.

About the Double Up Food Bucks program

The Double Up Food Bucks program began at five farmers markets in Detroit in 2009 and is now made available through local partners at farmers markets and grocery stores in over 25 states, including Missouri, Kansas, and neighboring Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska and Oklahoma.

The program’s success is rooted in partnerships — with local markets who bring it to life in their communities, organizations who help extend its impact with targeted outreach and complementary programming, and major statewide organizations, including the Kansas Department for Children and Families and the Missouri Department of Social Services.
