Receive a dollar-for-dollar match of up to $20 weekly when shopping with SNAP/ EBT (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program/ Electronic Benefits Transfer) and WIC-FVC (Women, Infants and Children-Fruit and Vegetable Checks), through the Eat Fresh Rockville and Maryland Market Money programs.
Matching funds can be used to purchase locally grown and produced items including fruits, vegetables, meat, cheese, dairy, baked goods, eggs and honey. The programs aim to fight hunger while investing directly in farmers, strengthening the local food system. Customers can stop by the market tent, located at the market entrance, for more information.
