Food Access & Assistance

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides benefits to eligible low-income individuals and families via an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card. This card can be used like a debit card to purchase eligible food in authorized grocery stores, food retailers, and participating farmers markets.

Many farmers markets have programs to make your SNAP dollars go further on fresh fruits and veggies.

In addition to SNAP, there are many other federal and state programs that offer food assistance based on certain demographics, locations, and life circumstances.
