Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

Located in New Castle, IN, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is dedicated to providing essential food assistance benefits to low-income households, empowering families to access the nutrition they need. As part of a vital federal nutrition initiative, SNAP helps eligible individuals purchase food through the convenient Hoosier Works EBT card, resembling a standard debit card. This program allows beneficiaries to buy a wide variety of food products intended for human consumption — all aimed at promoting health and wellness. Eligibility is determined based on household income and family size, ensuring support reaches those who need it most. For households facing immediate financial difficulties, benefits can often be accessed within seven days, with full eligibility determinations sent out within thirty days. We encourage those in need to complete the online application and take the first step toward securing their food assistance.
