CONWAY — The Local Grocer is participating in an effort to help people who receive food assistance to stretch their dollars by providing them with a discount on fresh organic produce.
Through the program, Double Up Food Bucks, a program run by national non-profit organization Fair Food Network, customers who shop at The Local Grocer can get 50 percent off fresh produce purchased with electronic benefit transfer, or EBT, cards provided through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance program.
