Why Double Up Texas Matters
Texas ranks second in the nation for the number of people living in food-insecure households. Nearly 5 million Texans (15.5% of the population) including 1 in 5 Texas children, lack consistent access to enough food to live an active, healthy life. The estimated annual healthcare costs associated with food insecurity in Texas are over $6 billion, the second highest in the nation. The need is particularly great in rural areas of the state.
Our Double Up Food Bucks Texas program doubles SNAP benefits $1 for $1 at participating farmers’ markets, farm stands, mobile markets, and grocery stores across Texas. By making fresh, nutritious food more affordable, Double Up Texas helps families stretch their food budgets and improve their diets, addressing food insecurity and promoting better health outcomes.
