The Healthy Incentives Program gives SNAP (formerly known as food stamps) recipients in Massachusetts $40 to $80 each month to spend on fresh fruits and vegetables from local farmers, depending on the household size. The Collaborative has advocated for the HIP program over the last five years and secured increased state funding for this program. HIP is a triple win for local farmers, families and the local economy.
HIP is a resource for SNAP consumers this holiday season. With inflation increasing holiday meal costs, HIP is one way to add more to your household’s food budget. Find your local HIP farmer today!
