SNAP is Helping Your Neighbors
Ida told us the application process “Was easier than anything I’ve had to go through before to get any kind of benefits.”
SNAP benefits are 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.
We are here to help Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 4:30pm.
