Food Stamp Program
   We help put healthy food on the table for
             26 million people each month.


The Food Stamp Program helps low-income people and families buy
the food they need for good health.  You apply for benefits by completing a State application form.  Benefits are provided on an electronic card that is used like an ATM card and accepted at most grocery stores.
