City of Madison & County of Dane's Double Dollars Program
For up-to-date information, please see the Community Action Coalition's Double Dollars webpage.
Double Dollars at the farmers’ markets is now finished for the season.
September 15th was the last day to get Double Dollars at the farmers’ markets. Anyone who has leftover Double Dollars can still spend them at participating markets through the end of December. Regular FoodShare EBT services will still be available as usual.
Please note that although Double Dollars is finished at farmers' markets locations this year, the Willy Street Co-op will start issuing Double Dollars in late October for redemption at their three retail locations.
Double Dollars at the farmers’ markets will begin again in 2020. Thanks to everyone who supported the program in 2019! Please visit and share our crowdfunding page to help us build a strong future for Double Dollars.
In 2019, Double Dollars at farmers' markets launched in June. Madison Area Farmers’ Market Double Dollars is a program for SNAP/FoodShare users. The program offers a dollar for dollar match for all SNAP transactions up to $25 per market day.

In order to receive Double Dollars, SNAP/FoodShare users bring their Quest EBT card to the farmers’ market EBT or information booth. The shopper decides how much they would like to withdraw from their account. For every dollar up to $25 that is withdrawn, the shopper receives twice that amount in market dollars. If a shopper wants to withdraw more than $25, they may do so, but they will only receive $25 in Double Dollars.
The market money and Double Dollars can be spent at any vendor’s stand selling SNAP-eligible products. This includes bakery, fruits and vegetables, meat, fish, dairy products, and seeds and plants to grow food. Market money cannot be used to buy nonfood items (like flowers or wreaths), hot foods (like those served at food carts), and alcohol.
Double Dollars can be redeemed at farmer's markets through September 15, 2019. They can only be issued or redeemed at participating markets, listed above.
And don’t forget you can also get Double Dollars at the Willy Street Co-op! Contact Customer Service to learn more, or check out the Willy Street Coop Double Dollars page.
