SNAP, Healthy Bucks and other help

The market’s food assistance page lists:

  • SNAP: buy SNAP scrip at the Greer Farmers Market booth and spend it with eligible vendors. Double SNAP is new in 2026: recipients get twice the vouchers they pay for.
  • Healthy Bucks: $15 in red tokens, good only for fruits and vegetables, given with a qualifying SNAP purchase under the state’s Healthy Bucks program.
  • POP Club: free $5 produce vouchers for the first 50 children at each market, regardless of income.
  • Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program: vouchers redeemed at approved farmer booths. The 2026 distribution day was June 14, for Greenville County residents 60 and older who meet income limits.
