Food Bank SNAP Manager Tracey Peterson shows off the wooden SNAP tokens issued when SNAP recipients swipe their EBT card at the Food Bank market booth. Also shown are the Food Bank Market Bucks, a donor-funded voucher that allows these recipients to stretch their benefits with up to an additional $10 for produce purchases. After years of frustration and confusion, the Edmonds Historical Museum and the Edmonds Food Bank have cut through the red tape surrounding use of federal nutrition assistance benefits at the museum-sponsored summer market.
