Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

In New Haven, IN, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is dedicated to providing essential food assistance benefits to low-income households, ensuring that everyone has access to nutritious food. As part of a vital federal nutrition initiative, SNAP helps eligible families purchase food through a simple and accessible process using the Hoosier Works EBT card, which functions like a debit card. The program covers a wide variety of food products meant for human consumption, with specific exclusions for items like hot meals, alcoholic beverages, and pet food. Eligibility for benefits and the amount provided are determined based on household income and size, making it easier for families to meet their nutritional needs. Those interested in applying can complete the online application and, if qualified, receive benefits promptly based on their financial circumstances. Our mission is to create a healthier community by prioritizing access to food for those who need it most, ensuring no one in New Haven goes hungry.
