The Kiva Partners with Double Up Food Bucks Oregon

The Kiva Grocery downtown is the first grocery store in Eugene to partner with Double Up Food Bucks Oregon.

"Double Up Food Bucks is a nutrition incentive program that doubles the value of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits when purchasing fruits and vegetables," according to the Kiva. "When customers use their Oregon Trail Card (SNAP) to purchase fruit and vegetables at The Kiva Grocery, they earn $1 for $1 back to redeem for future fruit and vegetable purchases and can only be used at the grocery store where they were issued."

According to the grocer and Double Up:

"Kiva is located in the heart of downtown Eugene and serves a diverse community that is disproportionally impacted by hunger and food insecurity. This partnership allows everyone a means to eat well and healthy."
