Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

SNAP, formerly known as Food Stamps, helps low-income Minnesotans afford nutritious, well-balanced meals. This program is designed to stretch your household food budget, offering additional support but not covering all of your food needs.

If you're approved, you can use SNAP benefits at many grocery stores, farmers markets, and senior dining sites.

For more information or to apply online, visit: mn.gov/dhs/snap.
