VERONA, Wis. (WKOW) — Dane County’s Double Dollars program kicks off its 10th year Thursday, and it’s expanding to two new farmers markets.
The program helps people who receive FoodShare benefits stretch their food budgets a bit further. At participating farmers markets, people can use their QUEST card to withdraw $20 of FoodShare money. Market staff or volunteers then provide $20 of vouchers to spend at that specific market and $20 worth of Double Dollars tokens. People can use the tokens to purchase fresh food like locally sourced meat, fruits and vegetables and dairy products.
