GRAND RAPIDS, MI — SpartanNash is expanding access to a program in which food stamp participants can earn free produce when purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables.

In a news release, the Byron Township-based grocer said the number of stores participating in the Double Up program has increased to 46. New locations this year include SpartanNash location in Coldwater, Cheboygan and Howell.

Under the program, for “each dollar of fresh produce SNAP customer’ purchase using their EBT Bridge Card and SpartanNash’s yes loyalty account, an equivalent amount of dollars will be earned and placed on their yes account,” according to SpartanNash.

The grocer says shoppers can then “redeem the Double Up dollars for free fruits and vegetables at participating Family Fare and VG’s locations, with a maximum dollar-for-dollar match of $20 per day on their account.”
