SNAP Assistance

 
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), once known as food stamps, helps individuals and families make ends meet. Depending on income guidelines, SNAP recipients are allocated a specific dollar amount loaded onto a debit card, which gives you the freedom to choose what you eat.

All Faiths Food Bank’s SNAP team provides application assistance to those interested in applying for benefits.
