EBT Flyer for VENDORS (click to view)

Electronic Balance Transfer will enable folks with debit cards and SNAP cards (food stamps) to swipe their cards at the market, receive wooden tokens in place of money, and spend those tokens at your booth.

Debit card tokens can be used to purchase anything.  SNAP tokens can only be used to purchase acceptable food items.  More on that later.  SNAP recipients will also be given double voucher coupons, which allows them to buy twice as much produce from you.  (Up to $10)  

Vendors turn in their tokens and double voucher coupons at the end of the Saturday market and receive a check THE FOLLOWING WEEK for reimbursement.   

Please refer to the downloaded file for examples of all the tokens and vouchers.
