Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in La Grange is dedicated to supporting low-income households by providing essential food assistance that helps maintain a healthy diet. This vital entitlement program offers monthly benefits loaded onto the Illinois Link Card, a convenient debit card specifically for purchasing eligible food items. SNAP benefits are designed to make nutritious food accessible, covering almost all food products intended for human consumption, except hot meals. Eligibility for the program depends on household income and size, and we encourage those who can work to seek employment. In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we prioritize the health and safety of our community by directing applicants to utilize online and telephone services rather than in-person visits. In light of recent policy changes, all SNAP recipients will receive the maximum benefit amount during April and May, ensuring they have the resources needed during these challenging times.
