Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Bloomington, IN, plays a vital role in providing essential food assistance to low-income households, helping them obtain the nutritious food they need. Utilizing a convenient Hoosier Works EBT card, similar to debit and ATM cards, participants can easily purchase a variety of food products for home consumption, excluding hot meals and non-food items. Eligibility for SNAP benefits is determined by household income and size, with special provisions for those facing financial hardships, ensuring that eligible families can access support quickly—often within seven days for urgent needs. We encourage those interested in applying for assistance to complete the online application, as SNAP is dedicated to improving food security and fostering healthier communities throughout the region.
