SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) provides monthly benefits to buy food at grocery stores, farmers markets, and other locations. SNAP helps families stretch their food budget so kids can get the nutrition they need to learn and grow.
With SNAP:
- Your family can buy more food at the grocery store
- Your school gets more funding that benefits students
- Your kids automatically get school meals at no cost (no application needed!)
Apply for SNAP online at MyBenefits.ny.gov
The Nutrition Outreach and Education Program (NOEP) can help you apply. NOEP offers one-on-one help applying for SNAP. NOEP can tell you if you may be eligible for SNAP, answer questions, and help with your application. It’s free and confidential. Find a NOEP Coordinator near you at FoodHelpNY.org.
