Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Carpentersville is dedicated to supporting low-income households by providing essential monthly benefits to help purchase nutritious food. Through the Illinois Link Card, a convenient debit card designed specifically for food assistance, eligible families can access vital resources to maintain healthy diets. Our program focuses on ensuring individuals have the means to acquire groceries, with benefits covering a wide range of food items intended for human consumption. Eligibility is determined by household income and size, and we encourage those who can work to seek employment opportunities. To prioritize the safety of our clients during the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, we urge customers to utilize our online and telephone services for applications rather than visiting in person. As an added support, all SNAP recipients will receive the maximum benefit amount during April and May, reinforcing our commitment to fighting food insecurity in our community.
