Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Sarasota, FL, is dedicated to empowering low-income families by providing essential food assistance to ensure they can access healthy and nourishing meals.

Individuals and families seeking food assistance can easily apply for benefits online through the Florida Department of Children and Families' ACCESS portal or visit local community partner sites. For those who prefer, paper applications are available for submission via mail or fax to local Customer Service Centers. We're here to help the community thrive and ensure every family has the resources to put healthy food on the table.
