Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Freeport, IL, is dedicated to supporting low-income households by providing essential food assistance through monthly benefits. With benefits loaded onto the Illinois Link Card — a convenient debit card specifically for purchasing food — SNAP helps families access the nutrition they need to thrive. Eligible participants can use this aid for a wide range of food items, promoting healthy eating practices while adhering to program guidelines. Eligibility and benefit levels are determined by household income and family size. In light of the ongoing COVID-19 situation, we encourage applicants to utilize online and telephone services for a safer application process. Together, we are committed to ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to maintain a healthy diet during challenging times.
