Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Elmhurst, IL, is dedicated to providing crucial food assistance to low-income households, enabling them to purchase the nutritional food they need for their families. With benefits delivered through the Illinois Link Card, this program empowers individuals to make healthy food choices by covering a wide range of food products intended for human consumption, excluding hot meals. Eligibility is determined by household income and size, and we encourage all able individuals to seek employment as part of their journey toward self-sufficiency. In response to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, we urge participants to utilize the state's online or telephone services for assistance rather than visiting in person, ensuring safety and continuity of support. During these challenging times, SNAP also offers the maximum benefit amount to all recipients, reaffirming our commitment to meet the urgent nutritional needs of our community.
