Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Melrose Park, IL, is committed to supporting low-income households by providing crucial food assistance. This vital program offers monthly benefits through the Illinois Link Card, enabling participants to purchase essential food items to ensure they maintain proper nutrition. SNAP benefits can cover a wide range of food products intended for human consumption, with eligibility determined by household income and family size. We believe everyone deserves access to nutritious meals, and we encourage those who are able to seek employment as part of their journey towards self-sufficiency. Please be aware that due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, applications should be completed using the State's online and telephone services rather than in person. During the months of April and May, all SNAP recipients will receive the maximum benefit amount to assist during these challenging times.
