More summer food support
According to the K-State Extension program, folks can use their SNAP benefits for matching dollars with Double Up Heartland. That works for up to $25 each day.
In addition to participating in Double Up Heartland, the Lawrence Farmers Market also runs a Double Up Protein Bucks program that matches up to $25 each week.
