Nutritional Assistance Programs

Nutritional Assistance Programs are government initiatives designed to help individuals and families afford healthy food. They provide benefits such as electronic benefits transfer (EBT) cards or vouchers that can be used to purchase groceries at authorized stores. These programs aim to reduce food insecurity, support good nutrition, and promote overall well-being, especially for low-income populations, seniors, and vulnerable groups. They are part of broader efforts to ensure everyone has access to sufficient, nutritious food to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
