Central Oregon friends! Below is a summary of all the food access programming that will be available at Fill Your Pantry this year:

Please visit the Bend Farmers Market (BFM) booth to exchange EBT benefits for SNAP tokens. You will also receive an additional $100 in Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB) and $20 in Protein Perks.

If you receive SNAP benefits and have at least $1 left on your card - you will be able to withdraw that $1 AND will receive $100 in emergency DUFB benefits as well as $20 in Protein Perks benefits.

If you receive SNAP benefits and have $0 left on your card - you will be able to access $20 in DUFB emergency funds and $20 in Protein Perks.

If you are in need of food, regardless of receiving SNAP or not, you will have access to our Fill All Pantries free food bins near the entrance of FYP in the center of the market.

Please look for the “Fill All Pantries” sign and check in with our volunteers if you need any help. Please all bring bags if you have any available.

You will be able to take:
-As many fruits and vegetables as you need

-For single folks or couples, you may take one package of ground meat. For families, you may take two packages of ground meat.
