What is SNAP?

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the largest federal nutrition program designed to help millions of low-income households stretch their budgets and put food on the table.

Building Healthy Habits through SNAP-Ed 

SNAP-Ed meets people where they are and helps ensure the healthy choice is the easiest choice.  

We facilitate nutrition education and cooking programs that teach people how to stretch their food budgets, prepare healthy meals, and live a physically active lifestyle for all ages.

Join our Movement to Encourage Enrollment 

Many people who qualify for SNAP often do not pursue the support they need. This is in part due to the stigma associated with food assistance programs. 

We’re on a mission to let people know it’s ok to ask for help.
