Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Shelbyville, IN, is dedicated to providing essential food assistance benefits to low-income households, enabling them to purchase the nourishment they need. Utilizing the Hoosier Works EBT card, similar to a debit card, participants can access funds for a variety of food items intended for human consumption, ensuring their health and well-being. While benefits cannot be used for hot meals, alcoholic drinks, or non-food items, they play a crucial role in combating hunger in our community. Eligibility and benefit amounts are determined by household income and size, making it essential for families to complete an online application to start their journey toward food security. For those facing immediate financial challenges, qualified households may receive assistance within seven days, while others will be notified of their eligibility within thirty days, reinforcing our commitment to swift and supportive service.
