Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Barrington, IL, is dedicated to empowering low-income households by providing essential food assistance through monthly benefits. Our program streamlines access to nutritious food, ensuring that families can purchase the groceries they need for healthy living, utilizing the Illinois Link Card, which functions like a debit card specifically for food purchases. Eligible beneficiaries can receive comprehensive assistance based on household income and size. We encourage individuals who have the capacity to work to actively seek employment. In light of ongoing challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, we recommend utilizing our online and telephone services for application and inquiries, ensuring that all residents can access the maximum food assistance benefits during critical times.
