Bochika Bonus Bucks is a cash-match program designed to increase access to healthy foods for all SNAP beneficiaries. For every $5 in SNAP benefits spent at the Little Haiti Farmers Market with SNAP benefits, Bochika will give an additional $5 to spend on MORE fresh food and plants up to $10 per customer per week. SNAP beneficiaries are invited to visit Bochika’s booth at the Little Haiti Farmers Market to enroll in the program (program begins in February).

SNAP benefits can be used to purchase vegetables, fruit, dairy, meat, poultry, fish, eggs, bread, cereals, jam, honey, rice, grains and dried beans, and pickles and packaged pastries. SNAP benefits are also accepted for seeds and plants which produce food.  For more information on using or accepting SNAP for seeds and plants, visit our friends at SNAP Gardens.
