$2 Double Up Food Bucks
- This is a free match of money for folks who receive SNAP/EBT tokens.
- We match dollar for dollar up to $20 per EBT card per day.
- Eligible items to be purchased with $2 DUFB include fresh, dry, frozen fruits, veggies and beans without any added sugar, salt or fat. Edible plant starts and seeds are eligible.
- No change is given on $2 DUFB cards.
- Since we cannot break these into $1 increments, we suggest asking for an even amount of SNAP so we can maximize your match!
- These cards can be used at many markets throughout Oregon. To find out which ones, visit the Oregon Double Up Food Bucks website.
