The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
SNAP Applications
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps, helps families and individuals afford groceries. If eligible, clients will receive an EBT card (similar to debit card) which will be reloaded monthly with an allotted amount of money to be used to purchase food at grocery stores and farmers’ markets.
The Food Bank’s SNAP Outreach Coordinator guides applicants through the SNAP application process, answers general questions and connects eligible residents to farmers markets accepting SNAP benefits.
