The DINE Healthy Environments Program proudly partners with corner stores, grocery stores, farmers’ markets and food pantries to help increase access to healthy foods throughout Durham! 

FARMERS MARKET DOUBLE BUCKS PROGRAM

 We are proud to offer the Double Bucks program in Durham! Shoppers who receive SNAP (food stamps) can swipe their EBT card at the information desk for any amount and the market will double their money.  That’s extra money to spend on local fruits, veggies, meats, cheeses, eggs and much more! 

Out of SNAP benefits? No worries! Markets will double your cash too! (Also available for WIC and Durham Housing Authority residents). Additionally, WIC participants and seniors who receive Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) coupons, will get those coupons matched.

FOOD PANTRIES

Nutrition classes are offered to pantry operators and their clients; assistance with environmental changes such as creating a client choice (supermarket style) pantry, and connection to various resources are some of the ways we assist our Durham pantries.
