Vouchers available for WIC Farmer’s Market Nutrition Program
Tuesday, June 20, 2023 by Eric Webb
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, or WIC, is offering vouchers for use at some Travis County farmers markets until October, according to Austin Public Health’s newsletter. Participants in the program will get $30 vouchers for fruits and vegetables. They’ll also get an additional $30 in Double-Up Food Bucks, which give beneficiaries an extra dollar to spend on fruits and vegetables for every dollar spent on these items. According to Austin Public Health, WIC participants just need to bring their shopping list and food card to participating farmers markets. For more information on participating farmers markets and eligibility, go to the Sustainable Food Center website.
