The Double Up Food Bucks Program is designed to help low-income families in Alabama bring home more healthy fruits and vegetables while supporting local farmers. This program is run by the Fair Food Network, a national nonprofit organization that aims to connect people to the power of food to grow community health and wealth. The program doubles the value of SNAP EBT (Electronic Benefit Transfer) benefits spent at participating farmers’ markets and grocery stores like Wright’s Market.
In addition to the Double Up Food Bucks Program, your Alabama EBT Card provides access to several other exciting discounts and perks. These include a 50% discount on Amazon Prime, free or discounted home or cell phone service, and free or discounted admissions to museums and family-friendly attractions. We will provide details on these programs, including how you can get double the food you buy with the Double Up Food Bucks program.
Alabama EBT Card holders can now sign up for the Amazon Prime EBT Discount and enjoy all the great benefits that come with Prime membership at a fraction of the cost. The regular Amazon Prime membership fee is $12.99 a month. However, with an Alabama EBT Card, you can get Prime Membership for $5.99, which is over 50% off the regular price.
