We Accept Pandemic Relief Cards (P-EBT)

Did you know Pandemic Relief cards can be used for a variety of Market items? Use your P-EBT card on vegetables, fruit, dairy, eggs, meat, seafood, bakery items, jam, plant starts, fruit trees, and specialty items like hot sauce, sauerkraut, salsa, hummus, kombucha, chocolate and more!

Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) is part of the U.S. government response to the COVID-19 pandemic. USDA is committed to providing nutrition assistance to hard-hit families across the country due to COVID-19.

Through P-EBT, eligible school children receive temporary emergency nutrition benefits loaded on EBT cards that are used to purchase food. Children who would have received free or reduced-price meals under the National School Lunch Act if their schools were not closed or operating with reduced hours or attendance for at least 5 consecutive days are eligible to receive P-EBT benefits. Learn more here. Stop by the Market office, swipe your card, and receive your Market match dollars.
