Peco sponsors the FOUR Program which allows Electronic Benefits Transfers (EBT) card holders to visit Elmwood Park Zoo for only $4 per person. The FOUR Program aims to expand the zoo's inclusive initiative, "making education and arts accessible to all," says Jennifer Conti.
Visitors may also visit the Centre Theater's Charles L. Blockson Exhibition in Norristown, PA at a discounted rate.
To take advantage of this program EBT holders must present a valid ID and EBT card to receive discounted admission. Tickets must be purchased at the box office.
