Thanks to a generous grant from Wholesome Wave Foundation (CT), when the Experimental Station launches our EBT/LINK (food stamp) program at five City of Chicago farmers markets beginning May 13, we will also be launching a Double Value Incentive program that will match LINK beneficiary purchases up to $5 per cardholder per market day. The 'LINK Bucks' issued to LINK recipients will be valid at any of the five City of Chicago farmers markets at which Experimental Station is providing EBT/LINK service (Daley Plaza, South Shore, Beverly, Division Street, Lincoln Square). 'LINK Bucks' will be valid throughout the 2010 season.
