The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a monthly nutrition program that provides funds for qualified individuals and families to purchase healthy food from local grocery stores, farmers markets, or online.
SNAP gives you and your family the assistance you need to buy nutritious food so you can stay healthy and thrive. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program helps households pay for food, freeing up money spent on groceries to pay for other essential items, like rent or college tuition. Benefits are electronically transferred to a card each month that you can use to pay for groceries.
