Join Kentucky Double Dollars: Empower Your Business, Nourish Your Community!
Why Participate?
Kentucky Double Dollars is a statewide initiative that amplifies the purchasing power of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) recipients by offering a dollar-for-dollar match on Kentucky-grown fruits and vegetables. This program not only supports local farmers but also makes fresh, nutritious produce more accessible to families in need.
Benefits for Your Business
- Increase Sales: Participating retailers and farm stands have reported significant boosts in customer traffic and sales. For instance, 85% of surveyed farmers indicated that KDD increased their sales, with 68% noting an average sales increase of 11%.
- Attract New Customers: By accepting KDD, you become a trusted source for affordable, healthy food, drawing in a broader customer base.
- Enhance Community Impact: Your involvement helps combat food insecurity and promotes healthier eating habits among Kentucky families.
How It Works
