Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Illinois Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Skokie, IL, is dedicated to ensuring that low-income households have access to the nutritious food they need. Our program provides monthly food assistance benefits through the Illinois Link Card, which functions like a debit card specifically for purchasing food products intended for human consumption, excluding hot meals. Eligibility for SNAP benefits is based on household income and family size, with a commitment to helping families thrive. We encourage those who can work to actively seek employment, emphasizing the program’s role in promoting self-sufficiency. As we navigate ongoing challenges, we remind our clients to utilize online and telephone services for applications, ensuring safety and convenience during these times. SNAP is here to support the needs of our community, reflecting our commitment to health and well-being.
