Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

In Auburn, IN, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) offers crucial food assistance benefits to support low-income households in accessing the nourishment they need. As part of a vital federal nutrition initiative, SNAP enables eligible individuals to purchase food through the convenient Hoosier Works EBT card, functioning like a debit card for grocery shopping. Our program is focused on ensuring that families can afford essential food products for human consumption, although it does not cover hot meals or non-food items like alcohol or tobacco. To determine eligibility, we assess household income and size, as well as specific financial situations. Those interested in obtaining assistance can easily apply online, with benefits potentially available within seven days for qualifying households. Our mission is to alleviate hunger and provide critical support for families in Auburn, ensuring everyone has access to the food they need for a healthier life.
