Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Oswego, IL, is dedicated to providing vital food assistance to low-income households, ensuring access to nourishing food for those in need. Our program offers monthly benefits that assist families in buying essential food products through the convenient Illinois Link Card, which functions like a debit card specifically for food purchases. SNAP is designed to support any food items intended for human consumption, with eligibility determined by yearly household income and size. We believe in fostering self-sufficiency, encouraging those who can work to seek employment. In light of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, we recommend utilizing our online and telephone services for applications instead of visiting in person. During these challenging times, we are committed to ensuring that all SNAP recipients receive the maximum benefit amount to help meet their nutritional needs.
