The Urban Food Initiative DBA Daily Table (UFI) was awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant from the US Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program (GusNIP, CFDA 10.331) to scale up Double Up Food Bucks in the Boston region from September 15, 2022 to September 14, 2026. GusNIP aims to increase the purchase of fruits and vegetables among low-income consumers participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by providing incentives at the point of purchase. UFI will use the funding to expand their existing Double Up Food Bucks program, which provides a dollar-for-dollar match for SNAP benefits spent on fresh produce at participating retailers, in order to address critical food security needs exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic in the greater Boston area.
