Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Elkhart, IN, is dedicated to providing vital food assistance benefits to low-income households, helping families access the nutrition they need. As part of a federal initiative, SNAP supports eligible individuals by allowing them to purchase food using the easy-to-use Hoosier Works EBT card, akin to a debit card. This program covers a wide array of food items intended for human consumption, ensuring that families can maintain their health and wellbeing. Eligibility is determined by household income and size, and those with limited financial means can apply conveniently online. Quick access to benefits is ensured for qualifying applicants, with many receiving support within just seven days. At SNAP, we are committed to alleviating food insecurity in our community, providing essential resources for families to thrive.
