What Neighbors Say

Ida told us “It was easier than anything I’ve had to go through before to get any kind of benefits.”

SNAP benefits are also helping families eat better. Krista told us that the first treat her children asked for when they shopped with their benefits card was the fresh raspberries that she couldn’t afford before.
