Food Access

We Accept SNAP EBT Cards

We Accept SNAP EBT Cards!

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), is a Federal program that provides nutrition benefits to low-income individuals and families that are used at stores to purchase food.  We are proud to support community access to fresh, local foods. SNAP, WIC (Women’s Infant & Children) and OHP recipients are provided with an additional 5% discount on all food purchases.

SNAP participants can use their EBT cards at Locavore to purchase:

  • Foods for the household to eat, such as:
    • breads and cereals;
    • fruits and vegetables;
    • meats, fish and poultry; and
    • dairy products.
  • Seeds and plants which produce food for the household to eat.
