Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

In Calumet City, the Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is dedicated to supporting low-income households by providing vital food assistance through monthly benefits. Utilizing the Illinois Link Card, families can access funds specifically for purchasing essential food items, ensuring they can maintain a healthy diet. Our program embraces the principle that adequate nutrition is a right, not a privilege, and benefits are determined based on household income and family size. While we encourage those who can work to seek employment, our priority is ensuring that all individuals have access to necessary food products. Throughout the ongoing challenges posed by the pandemic, we urge applicants to use our convenient online and telephone services rather than visiting in person. During April and May, all SNAP recipients will enjoy the maximum benefit amount, emphasizing our commitment to providing timely support when it is needed most.
