Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), located in Elmwood Park, IL, is dedicated to providing critical food assistance to low-income households. Our program offers monthly benefits through the Illinois Link Card, allowing families to purchase the food necessary for a nutritious diet. SNAP is designed to empower individuals and families to maintain their health and well-being by facilitating access to healthy food options. Eligibility for our benefits depends on household income and family size, and while we encourage those who can work to seek employment, our primary focus is on alleviating food insecurity. In light of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, we urge applicants to utilize our State's online and telephone services for support rather than in-person visits. We also want to inform all SNAP recipients that during April and May, they will receive the maximum benefit amount to help meet their nutritional needs.
