Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Carbondale, IL, is dedicated to supporting low-income households by providing monthly benefits that ensure access to essential nutritious food. Through the convenience of the Illinois Link Card, recipients can purchase a variety of food products intended for human consumption, with the exception of hot meals. Our program focuses on empowering families to maintain adequate nutrition, with eligibility determined by household income and size. We believe in fostering self-sufficiency, encouraging all participants who are able to seek employment.

We are committed to ensuring our community members are nourished and supported during challenging times.
