SNAP Benefits

Did you know that SNAP benefits and school meals work together to support families?

If your household could use help stretching the grocery budget, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) may be an option.

SNAP provides monthly benefits to help families buy healthy food, and eligibility is broader than many people realize. Even if your child receives free or reduced-price school meals, you may still qualify.
