Try It! Address:

The United States Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), historically and commonly known as the Food Stamp Program, is a federal-assistance program that provides assistance to low- and no-income people and families living in the U.S. Though the program is administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, benefits are distributed by the individual U.S. states.

Text your street address to 267-293-9387 and receive the nearest Farmers Market address, dates of operation and hours, the closet two SNAP-participating retailers, and information on how to maximize your SNAP dollars through local fresh food initiatives.

Did you know most of Philadelphia's Farmer's Market accept SNAP benefits for payment? Many of Philadelphia's Farmers' Markets even give out additional bonus coupons for SNAP spending in their markets.

Giving Philadelphians the information to spend SNAP benefits at local fresh markets brings healthy food to our tables and supports local businesses and farms.
