Food Stamp Program     

You want the best for your family.  You want everyone to stay well and for your kids to grow and learn.  Using food stamp benefits to purchase healthy foods for your family can help make that happen. 

The Food Stamp Program helps low-income families buy nutritious food.   

To apply for cash and food stamp benefits, you must complete a face-to-face interview. The county will schedule that interview after you complete the application and mail it, fax it, or deliver it to the county agency. The face-to-face interview may be waived if you meet a hardship condition.

It is important that you mail, fax, or deliver your application to the county agency as soon as possible as it could affect the first day that you may be eligible to receive benefits.

A case worker can help you if you are having problems getting needed information.  It is important that you inform your caseworker that you need help.
