Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Beech Grove, IN, is dedicated to alleviating food insecurity by providing essential food assistance benefits to low-income households. This federally funded program empowers families to purchase nutritious food through the Hoosier Works EBT card, which operates like a debit card for easy access to benefits. SNAP benefits cover a wide array of food items intended for human consumption, ensuring that qualified households can acquire the nourishment they need. However, exclusions apply to hot meals, alcoholic beverages, and certain non-food items. To determine eligibility and benefit amounts, applicants can complete an online application, with expedited support for those who face immediate needs. Our mission is to ensure that every eligible household has the opportunity to overcome food challenges and maintain their health and well-being.
