Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (DSNAP)

The Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP) in Kaplan, LA, is dedicated to supporting low- to moderate-income households affected by disasters, providing crucial food assistance to those who do not typically receive SNAP benefits. If your household has experienced income loss or property damage due to hurricanes or other emergencies, we encourage you to pre-register for D-SNAP to access emergency food resources. It's vital to register before a disaster strikes, as you may not have the necessary information available during evacuation or recovery. While current SNAP recipients will have their benefits automatically updated, previous D-SNAP recipients must also pre-register to expedite their assistance process. Our application services prioritize your comfort and accessibility, especially during the ongoing health concerns related to COVID-19, offering assistance via phone instead of in-person visits. Additionally, our Customer Service Center provides Language Line translation services to help all residents navigate the application process smoothly, ensuring that we can meet the urgent needs of our community during challenging times.
