STOCK UP on Frozen Foods NOW! Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB) NY has made some changes.

Starting July 1st, frozen foods will no longer be part of the program.

If you want to earn or use DUFBNY on frozen items, you should stock up before the end of June. After June 30th, DUFBNY can only be earned and used when you buy fresh fruits and vegetables.

The good news is that DUFBNY is not going away! You can still earn and use DUFB at Abundance for fresh fruits and vegetables.

We have a great selection of fresh fruits and veggies

Helping to Feed Families

Double Up Food Bucks is an incentive program that provides users of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) with up to $20 a day, in matching funds to dollars spent, on qualifying purchases.

Abundance Food Co-Op, in Rochester NY, has partnered with Field & Fork Network and launched this exciting new program.

Abundance Food Co-Op is the second Grocery Store in all of New York State to participate in Double Up Food Bucks.

The program is a project of Field & Fork Network and is funded by the USDA and several local and regional philanthropic foundations and agencies.

Highlights of the Program

Anyone receiving SNAP benefits is eligible to participate; there is no cost to join!
There is no limit to the amount of accrued points you can use towards eligible purchases.
Eligible purchases include:
– Fresh raw fruits and vegetables (potatoes, garlic)
– Frozen raw fruits and vegetables with no other ingredients (frozen edamame, frozen hashbrown)
– Produce Bearing plants and seedlings/starters(tomato seedling but not tomato plant seeds)

Non-eligible items include: canned, processed, or cooked produce, any produce with salt, sugar, fat, or preservatives, spices, herbs, nuts, seeds, dried beans and legumes, any prepared food, dairy, eggs, meat products…
Anyone can shop at the Co-op; you do not need to be a shareholder!

How It Works

1. Sign Up!

Anyone receiving SNAP benefits is eligible: if you have a SNAP EBT Card, you can take advantage of this program. If you are not yet qualified for SNAP, we can provide you information about how to qualify.

To sign up, you will need to provide three things: Your EBT card, a government issued Photo ID, a completed sign up sheet.

2. Shop the Co-op!

Once you’ve signed up for the program, you are immediately able to take advantage of the benefits!

(Benefits are not retroactive, we can not credit you points for purchases you made while you were not part of the program.)

$1 spent on Produce = 1 point accrued = $1 to spend on Produce another day.

3. Start Banking Points!

Just go about your shopping! Points tally when you purchase eligible produce with your EBT card. Note: SNAP purchases paid for with DUFB will not accrue DUFB.

There is no limit to the amount of accrued money you can use towards eligible purchases.

Points will show at the bottom of customer receipts for tracking purposes. To use points, a person MUST show a photo ID that matches the name on the DUFB account.
