From Virginia Fresh Match: Virginia Pandemic-EBT can be used at SNAP authorized markets and matched through the Virginia Fresh Match program.
Please read this flyer carefully. If you are eligible, you will get a Virginia P-EBT Card in the mail, in the next 30 to 45 days. Use your card to receive a 50% discount of fresh fruits and vegetables at any Virginia Fresh Match outlet location:
www.VirginiaFreshMatch.org/locations
The Virginia P-EBT Card will have food assistance benefits on it that can be used for food items anywhere SNAP benefits are accepted.
You did not apply for these benefits, but you have a student or students in your household who are eligible for free/reduced meals at their school. Because they are not in school right now, Virginia can give you these P-EBT food benefits to use.
If you haven't set up an online pre-ordering system for your farm, join our next free webinar.
