SNAP & Other Food Resources
SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formally known as Food Stamps) plays an important role in keeping children, adults, and seniors healthy by providing funds for basic food needs throughout the month.
Our SNAP outreach worker, Paw Khee, works to debunk myths about SNAP and reduce the stigma for participants who need food assistance but don’t want a ‘hand out’. With our SNAP outreach worker, participants have support through every stage of the process, from eligibility screening to receiving an EBT card, to ensure that everything goes smoothly during their time of need.
If you are in need of SNAP assistance or want more information, please email SNAP Outreach Specialist, Paw Khee or call (651) 789-2520.
