Illinois Link Cards

The Downtown Evanston Farmers Market accepts Illinois SNAP benefits through Illinois Link cards. Since 2011, Friends of Evanston Farmers Markets has matched SNAP dollars up to $25 per SNAP user each week. For every Link user who spends up to $25 in SNAP funds at the market, we match those funds, dollar for dollar. This doubles your spending power each time you shop. Stop by the City of Evanston booth for additional details.
