Community Market in Second Ward Improves Fresh Food Access for Families on Food Assistance

New e-commerce platform aims to be a catalyst for better health outcomes in the area

SNAP/EBT dependent families in the Second Ward can now access their benefits online thanks to a new service launched by Little Red Box Grocery (LRB), a community market located in East End Houston. The new feature also allows SNAP recipients to double every dollar spent on fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables when using the Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB) program with in-store purchases.
