Each month you will receive reminders via e-mail and text message to shop at the market for that month. When you arrive at the market, you will go to the market manager's table and pay your out-of-pocket funds. Once paid, you will receive your match funds (tokens) and be free to shop at your leisure!

OKFresh requires members to pay out-of-pocket funds to receive matching funds from the program. Members can receive up to $20 each month in matching funds and choose how much they wish to pay at their participating market (any amount up to $20).
‍
For example, you can pay $10 in cash at the first market day of the month, and you will receive $10 in OKFresh match funds to use at the market. Then, you can come back again on the third market day of the month and pay $10 in SNAP benefits and receive an additional $10 in OKFresh match funds to use at the market. The maximum OKFresh pays in matching funds is $20 per membership per month.

Your out-of-pocket funds can be paid with cash, credit/debit, or SNAP benefits. Each market may vary on the payment forms they accept so please check with the market for their specific payment terms.

White tokens represent the out-of-pocket funds you paid and green tokens represent the OKFresh matching funds. You can spend your white tokens on any food item (including milk, meat, or eggs) or food-bearing plants at the market. The green tokens can only be spent on fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, or food-bearing plants.

Out-of-pocket funds are valid for any SNAP eligible food item and food-bearing plants. OKFresh match funds are valid for fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, fresh herbs, and food-bearing plants.

Yes, tokens can be used on any of the designated market days. Tokens do not have to be used the day they are received, however, the maximum amount of green tokens a member can use each month is $20 worth so be sure to use all of your green tokens each month.

Yes.  Once you have completed your shopping at the market, please return to the market manager’s table.  Your produce will be weighed and you will receive that months giveaway.

No, once tokens are issued, they cannot be replaced.

It is ok to miss a market, but your $20 in match benefits that month will expire and will not roll over. You will also not be eligible for that month’s giveaway.

If you miss more than 3 months of markets, your membership will automatically be terminated from the OKFresh program.
