Food Stamps

Food stamps, officially called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), is a government initiative that provides eligible low-income individuals and families with financial assistance to purchase food. Participants receive an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card, which works like a debit card to buy approved groceries at authorized stores. The goal is to help people access nutritious food, improve overall health, and reduce food insecurity. Eligibility and benefit amounts are based on income, household size, and expenses, ensuring support is directed to those in need while encouraging self-sufficiency.
