Feeding Your Family is a SNAP
The USDA’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as the Food Stamp Program, renders service to up to 28 million needy families every month. Food stamps have become a life blood for countless low-income families struggling to put food on the table.
How Does it Work and Do I Qualify?
SNAP can provide you a specific amount for you to buy nutritious food from participating supermarkets. You will be given an Electronic Benefits Transfer Card that you present to the store so you can purchase fruits and vegetable; breads and cereals; meats, fish and poultry; and dairy products.
SNAP will have you undergo their pre-screening process prior to giving you SNAP benefits. Your gross and net income, number of family members, plus other factors will determine what specific amount will be allocated to your family.
