SNAP 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. |

Through nutrition
education partners, SNAP helps clients learn to
make healthy eating and active lifestyle
choices.
