Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) serves the Rockford, IL community by providing crucial food assistance to low-income households. Our program equips eligible individuals and families with monthly benefits via the Illinois Link Card, which functions as a debit card for the purchase of essential foods, enhancing their nutritional stability. SNAP benefits cover a wide range of food items for home consumption, ensuring that everyone has access to the nourishment they need. Eligibility is determined by household income and size, and we encourage those who are able to seek work. During the ongoing challenges posed by the COVID-19 crisis, we prioritize the safety of our clients by recommending the use of online and telephone services for applications. We are committed to helping our community thrive by making sure no one goes hungry.
