At Locals Food Hub & Pizza Pub, we believe that everyone deserves access to fresh, healthy, and local food. For the past year, our Triple Dollar Program in Frankfort has been helping families stretch their dollars further, while also supporting Kentucky farmers. Now, thanks to the generous support of the Lesley and Rhyan Prather Foundation, we are thrilled to bring this transformative program to Louisville.
The Triple Dollar Program is simple but powerful. SNAP users who shop at Locals can triple the value of their benefits, turning $20 into $60 worth of local groceries. Here’s how it works:
- A SNAP customer spends $20.
- Kentucky Double Dollars matches it with another $20.
- A local sponsor, like the Prather Foundation, provides an additional $20.
That means $60 of fresh, local food for just $20 out-of-pocket. This program not only helps families access nutritious meals but also directly supports local farmers, ensuring their hard work continues to thrive.
In Frankfort, the Triple Dollar Program has been a lifeline for many, making local food more accessible while strengthening the connection between farmers and their community. We’re excited to see this same impact unfold in Louisville, where families will now have the opportunity to experience the incredible value this program offers.
This expansion would not have been possible without the Lesley and Rhyan Prather Foundation, whose generous donation allowed us to launch the program in Louisville. Their dedication to making a difference in the community has been truly inspiring, and we’re deeply grateful for their support.
But the need doesn’t stop here. The Triple Dollar Program relies on continued donations to ensure it can serve as many families as possible. Even a small contribution can go a long way. A donation of $20 provides an additional $20 of groceries to a family in need, while $100 sponsors five families, helping them put fresh, local food on their tables.
If you’re passionate about supporting local farmers and helping families access healthy food, consider making a donation to sustain this vital program. Together, we can continue to make a meaningful impact, one meal at a time.
