BLOOMINGTON – To help reduce the barriers to healthy food, Bloomingfoods applied for an Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) grant supported through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) that funds entities within the State of Indiana to implement programs focused on addressing health issues and challenges within Indiana.
With the IDOH grant funds of $583,626, Bloomingfoods was awarded, and they will be launching a SNAP Double Dollars Program in mid-January 2024.
This program will allow Bloomingfoods shoppers who utilize SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) to pay 50% less for SNAP-eligible items. Bloomingfoods SNAP Double Dollars Program benefits can also be used with Bloomingfoods current program, Bloomingfoods for All, which gives all Owner-Members utilizing SNAP an additional 20% off all EBT-eligible items.
Bloomingfoods believes everyone in our community deserves access to healthy food and is grateful to be able to offer this program to provide additional assistance to those in need in our community. For more information, please visit www.bloomingfoods.coop/snap-dd-program.
