Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is dedicated to supporting low-income households in Galesburg, IL, by providing essential food assistance through monthly benefits. Designed to help families maintain adequate nutritional levels, SNAP benefits are issued on the Illinois Link Card, which functions like a debit card for purchasing food items intended for human consumption. While all eligible households can access these benefits based on their income and family size, we encourage those who are able to seek gainful employment. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we prioritize safety by providing online and telephone services for applications, and all SNAP recipients will receive maximum benefits through April and May to meet their critical food needs. Your health and well-being are at the forefront of our mission, ensuring everyone has access to the nourishment they require.
