Fresh Checks

Fresh Checks, located in Takoma Park, MD, is committed to promoting food assistance and access to healthy, locally-sourced produce for all community members, regardless of income. Operating within the vibrant Crossroads Farmers Market, we embrace a diverse gathering of individuals while supporting local vendors through our producers-only model. Our unique 'double dollar' nutrition incentive program empowers shoppers by matching the value of benefits spent at the market, enabling them to purchase more food. We proudly accept federal nutrition benefits including SNAP, WIC Fruit and Vegetable Checks, and the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program. By allowing SNAP users to swipe their Independence Card for matching funds and enabling WIC and senior shoppers to exchange their vouchers for additional Fresh Checks, we ensure that every member of our community can enjoy nutritious food options and contribute to local agriculture.
