Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Alton, IL, is dedicated to helping low-income households access the nutritional food they need through monthly benefits. Utilizing the Illinois Link Card, recipients can purchase a variety of food items essential for maintaining health, with eligibility determined by household income and size. Our mission is to ensure that families have the resources to secure adequate nutrition, especially during challenging times. With the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 crisis, we encourage applicants to take advantage of our online and telephone services for support. During April and May, eligible SNAP recipients can receive the maximum benefit amount to assist in meeting their food needs. We believe in empowering individuals, and if you can work, we encourage you to seek employment while we provide the essential food assistance you deserve.
