Kentucky Double Dollars Training

Author: Jann Knappage

Planning Unit: Family and Consumer Sciences

Major Program: Local Food System Development and Mapping

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

In April 2024, The KY NEP Food System Team hosted a statewide Zoom training in partnership with Community Farm Alliance to educate Extension Professionals about the Kentucky Double Dollars Program. 72 extension employees participates from all program areas: Family and Consumer Science, Horticulture, Agriculture and Natural Resources and 4-H. The training covered what the program was and how it is administered, how to apply, and how to implement successfully. It also covered success stories and statistics, as well as why this program is important to the SNAP and SNAP eligible audience. Participants were engaged, asked questions and there was follow-up correspondence on next steps. The long term outcome of this training would be if more counties and markets apply to participate in 2025. This training was planned and administered in tandem with the efforts we are putting forth to get our Farmers Market Toolkit into the hands of more market managers, farmers and market volunteers. NEP's toolkit is focused on markets gearing more of their efforts to engaging the SNAP and SNAP eligible audience through market policies and procedures.
