Alaska Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) - Rural II

The Alaska Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) serves the Wainwright community by offering vital food assistance to low-income households. Designed to alleviate hunger, this program provides emergency food benefits through the Alaska Quest card, enabling eligible families to purchase nutritious food from authorized retailers throughout the state. The monthly benefit amount is determined based on household size and income, ensuring support is tailored to meet varying needs. To apply for SNAP, individuals can download and print the Application for Services from our program website and submit it via mail, fax, drop-off, or email to the local office, promoting a compassionate response to food insecurity in our region.
