KLKN-TV May 3, 2021 1:11 pm LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), University of Nebraska Extension, and some Nebraska producers are partnering up so Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients have better access to fresh fruits and vegetables. It’s called the Double Up Food Bucks program. In this program, SNAP recipients could be matched up to $20 on select fruits and veggies at participating stores. “We know the importance of quality, fresh food when it comes to helping people live better lives,” said Karen Heng, Deputy Director of DHHS’s Division of Children and Family Services. “Double Up is the first statewide incentive program to be rolled out in Nebraska with a uniform design, central administration, and local implementation and is modeled after similar programs that have proven to be successful in rural, urban and suburban communities, nationwide.”
