Food Assistance Match
2026 Food Assistance Match
As in prior seasons, the match this year will be funded by Food Assistance Match Inc., a 501(c) looking to expand the local model to other regional markets. For more information, visit FoodAssistanceMatch.org.
We expect to offer a 1:1 (double the purchasing power of food assistance benefits) in the 2026 season.
Food Assistance Match History
For the sixth year in a row, the Bellevue Farmers Market partnered with the Food Assistance Match to provide a 1:1 match for food assistance dollars (SNAP/WIC/FMNP) spent at the market to ensure the market is accessible to folks at all income levels. In 2025, FAM provided over $30,000 in assistance for the Bellevue Farmers Market. Every dollar contributed went directly towards fresh produce and other eligible food items and directly supporting small businesses, strengthening the local economy. Given that last year, funding for SNAP and other programs were significantly cut, it is more critical than ever to ensure that our at-risk neighbors still can access fresh, nutritious food.
Our market is proud to be a founding partner with FAM and looks forward to a continued successful relationship.
