Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Burbank serves as a vital resource for low-income households, offering monthly benefits to help families access essential food and maintain a balanced diet. Our program issues benefits through the Illinois Link Card, designed like a debit card specifically for food purchases, enabling individuals to buy a variety of food products intended for human consumption, excluding hot meals. Eligibility for SNAP benefits is determined by household income and size, and we encourage those who can work to seek employment opportunities. In response to the COVID-19 crisis, we prioritize safety by directing applicants to utilize our online and telephone services rather than in-person visits. We are dedicated to supporting our community by ensuring everyone has access to the nutritional resources they need.
