BRIDGEPORT BUCKS PROGRAM
In an effort to make healthy food more accessible to Bridgeport residents, the DSSD has partnered with the Bridgeport Farmers Market Collaborative to offer the Bridgeport Bucks Program. Bridgeport Bucks is a coupon that can be used to purchase fruit and vegetables at any one of the Bridgeport farmers markets. Businesses, community-based organizations, and nonprofit organizations purchase Bridgeport Bucks as incentives or rewards to provide to clients, employees, or community groups.

SNAP MATCHING PROGRAM
The Bridgeport DSSD has also partnered with the Bridgeport Farmers Market Collaborative to accept SNAP/EBT, WIC, Farmers Market Nutrition Program checks (for WIC and Senior recipients), and Bridgeport Bucks along with cash, credit, and debit at the Downtown Bridgeport Farmers Market. The market operates an incentive matching program so that for every $1 in SNAP funds spent at the market, the customer can purchase $2 in fresh fruits and vegetables.
