Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Lowell, IN is dedicated to providing critical food assistance benefits to low-income households to ensure that everyone has access to essential nutrition. As part of a federal nutrition initiative, SNAP helps families buy food through a convenient Hoosier Works EBT card, which functions like a debit card for purchasing eligible food items. Our program supports the community by offering benefits for a wide range of food products intended for human consumption, while excluding hot meals, alcohol, and non-food items. Eligibility and the amount of assistance provided are determined by household income and size. We encourage those in need to apply online for benefits. Eligible households with immediate financial constraints may receive assistance within seven days of applying, while others can expect a determination within thirty days. SNAP strives to empower Lowell residents by bridging the gap to food security and fostering healthier, happier families.
