SNAP Benefits (Food Stamps): If you are having difficulty buying food, you may qualify for SNAP benefits, also known as food stamps. Offices are now open for in-person visits with limited capacity, but the fastest way to apply is through an online application. Locations of offices and phone lines can be found on the Department of Transitional Assistance website. You can also check your eligibility through this 10 second quiz.
