Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) is another good option for families. SNAP provides benefits on an EBT card that works like a debit card and allows families to purchase food at grocery stores that meets their dietary and cultural needs.
