Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) serves the Granger, IN community by providing crucial food assistance benefits aimed at supporting low-income households in their goal to secure nutritious food. Through this federal nutrition initiative, eligible families can receive assistance to purchase a variety of food products—excluding hot meals, alcoholic beverages, and non-food items—using the Hoosier Works EBT card, which operates like a debit card. SNAP is designed for those with limited financial resources, considering both household income and family size to determine eligibility and benefit amounts. For those in immediate need, households with a monthly gross income under $150 or with housing costs exceeding their earnings may receive benefits quickly, often within seven days. Interested individuals can apply for SNAP benefits online, ensuring that support is accessible to those who need it most in our local area.
