About Fresh Bucks: Fresh Bucks is a healthy food program that helps Seattle residents afford the fruits and vegetables they need to thrive. Fresh Bucks is funded by the City of Seattle, including Seattle’s Sweetened Beverage Tax (SBT). The SBT promotes public health by reducing the sales and consumption of sugary drinks and investing the tax revenue in healthy food programs designed to reach communities most impacted by food insecurity.

Public Lottery Application
Recognizing that not all eligible households are served through our network of community-based enrollment partners, we also offer a public lottery application. All eligible, unduplicated applications received within the public lottery application period are entered into a computer-generated randomized selection process led by a third party. Each applicant is assigned an “unfiltered” randomized ranking between 1 and the total number of applicants. (For example, in a lottery with 10,000 applicants, each applicant is randomly assigned a number between 1 and 10,000.) We enroll Public Lottery applicants in order of randomized ranking as available budget allows.
