Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (DSNAP)

The Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (DSNAP) in Jonesboro, LA, is dedicated to providing crucial food assistance to low to moderate-income households affected by disasters, including hurricanes. If your household has experienced lost income or damage due to a recent disaster, DSNAP can help you buy groceries even if you do not typically receive SNAP benefits. We encourage residents to pre-register online or by phone to ensure a smooth application process, as access to essential documentation may become limited after an emergency. Our program is designed to swiftly activate benefits, especially for those who preregister, allowing for timely support during critical times. While current SNAP recipients do not need to register again, any additional benefits will be added automatically to their EBT cards. For health safety, especially in light of the coronavirus pandemic, applications for assistance are currently processed by phone. Our Customer Service Center is equipped with Language Line translation services to facilitate the application process for all residents. Together, we strive to ensure that no one in our community goes hungry in times of need.
