S.N.A.P. is Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. If you need assistance to purchase food, you may be eligible for S.N.A.P. food assistance benefits. Many of us have been financially impacted during the COVID-19 health crisis. Some of us are working reduced hours, are unemployed, or retired on a limited income. If your finances are tight, see how S.N.A.P. can help put food on your table.
