From the published memo
“The purpose of the Link-Up Illinois double-match grant is to allow EBT users to double their spending value at our farmers markets by matching their funds being pulled. It is a double-match program - for example, if a market patron deducts $25 from their bank account, they then receive $25 in EBT tokens for them to use on fresh produce and plants that grow food for the household. The grant makes fresh local foods more accessible to those in our community that may be facing food insecurities.”
