Double Up Food Bucks Alabama seeks to increase the purchase of fresh fruits and vegetables by low-income consumers participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The Hunger Solutions Institute at Auburn University launched Double Up Food Bucks Alabama to offer fruit and vegetable incentives at participating retailers throughout Alabama.
For every dollar of SNAP benefits a participant uses to purchase a fresh fruit or vegetable, Double Up Food Bucks Alabama provides a dollar incentive as a retailer-specific coupon or token to redeem for purchase of a fresh fruit or vegetable.
