Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Batavia, IL, is dedicated to supporting low-income households by providing vital food assistance through monthly benefits. This program enables eligible residents to purchase essential groceries using the Illinois Link Card, a convenient debit card designated specifically for food purchases. SNAP covers a wide range of food products intended for human consumption, helping families maintain healthy nutrition. Eligibility is determined by household income and size, with an emphasis on encouraging those who can work to actively seek employment. In response to the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, we advise all applicants to utilize the state’s online and telephone services for support. Currently, all SNAP recipients will receive the maximum benefit amount, ensuring that our community has access to necessary food resources.
