Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Washington, IN, is dedicated to providing vital food assistance benefits to low-income households, empowering them to purchase necessary food items. Utilizing the Hoosier Works EBT card, which operates like a debit card, qualifying families can buy a variety of foods intended for human consumption, ensuring that they receive the nutrition they need. While SNAP benefits cover many food products, it's important to note that they cannot be used for hot meals, alcohol, tobacco, pet food, or paper goods. To determine eligibility and benefit amounts, we consider factors such as household income and size. Those interested in receiving support can conveniently apply online, with expedited benefits available for certain qualified households. Join us in our mission to alleviate food insecurity and promote healthier communities in Washington.
