Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (DSNAP)

The Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP) in Rayne, LA, is dedicated to providing crucial food assistance to low to moderate income households facing the challenges of lost income or property damage due to disasters like hurricanes. This program is designed for those who do not typically receive SNAP benefits, ensuring they have the support needed to buy groceries when emergencies strike. It is vital for residents to pre-register online or by phone before disasters occur, as access to household and income information can be limited during evacuations. D-SNAP's streamlined application process, enhanced by phone assistance during health crises, ensures that eligible residents can swiftly receive emergency food support. With a commitment to accessibility, our Customer Service Center employs Language Line translation services to assist every applicant through the process, reinforcing our mission to help communities recover and thrive in difficult times.
