• Funds: The Walmart Foundation donated $250,000, and the Alice L. Walton Foundation donated $100,000 to the Double Your Dollars program, which is an initiative that provides NWA residents access to healthy and affordable food at local farmers' markets. 
• Program: Double Your Dollars gives recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) vouchers with one-to-one dollar matched tokens for use at farmers' markets. In addition to healthy food purchases, the recent funds will support promotional efforts and nutrition education.
