Healthy Food Incentives
Insights
The 2021 Double Up Food Bucks Colorado Evaluation aimed to assess program operations and measure the impact of the program on stakeholders.
HFIF improves access to fresh Colorado grown fruits and vegetables for Colorado’s low-income populations through healthy eating incentive programs including Double Up Food Bucks and Colorado Nutrition Incentive Program (CNIP). Maintaining stable funding in Colorado’s general budget is critical to the success of these programs.
Colorado House Bill 23-1008 is intended to improve access to and lower prices for nutritious foods in low-income and underserved areas of Colorado while keeping economic activity in the local community.
CNIP focuses on creating permanent nutrition security for Coloradans experiencing economic instability through access to locally produced, fresh, and nutritious fruits and vegetables.
