Policy overview

The SFPC supports the expansion of accepting Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits at all Denver farmers’ markets through the following tactics:

• Seeking new and/or allocating existing funding, resources, and support to market managers to ensure that all farmers’ markets in Denver have the means to acquire current and supporting technology, such as Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) machines.
• Seeking new and/or allocating existing funding, resources, and support for community outreach to SNAP recipients about the opportunities to redeem SNAP benefits at Denver farmers’ markets.
