Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (DSNAP)

The Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (DSNAP) in Ruston, LA, is dedicated to providing vital food assistance to eligible low to moderate-income households affected by disasters, including hurricanes. Designed for those who do not typically receive SNAP benefits, DSNAP offers support for purchasing groceries when income is lost or property is damaged due to a disaster. It's crucial for residents to pre-register online or over the phone before a disaster strikes, as access to necessary information may be limited during and after an event. Even prior DSNAP participants must re-register to ensure they can receive timely support once benefits are activated. Understanding the urgency of food needs during emergencies, our Customer Service Center is equipped to assist residents in the application process, utilizing translation services to ensure everyone can receive the help they require. Your well-being is our priority, and we're here to support you through these challenging times with prompt, compassionate service.
