Assistance for Household Food Budgets
Individuals enrolled in SNAP – also known as food stamps – are given monthly allowances of funds that are loaded onto an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card.
Like a debit card, your EBT card can be used to purchase healthy groceries from local stores.
Your monthly benefit allowance is intended to help you supplement – add an extra amount – to your food budget.
Supporting Good Health through SNAP Benefits
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program was created to provide aid to households who may be at risk of food insecurity.
We encourage anyone who may be facing challenges affording food to apply for SNAP. Our goal is to ensure that you and your loved ones have access to the resources you need to stay healthy and well-nourished.
Benefits of SNAP for Households with Children
Once enrolled in SNAP, children in your household automatically qualify for free school lunches!
In fact, SNAP recipients, whether they have children or not, may qualify for more food assistance programs.
