What is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)?

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, SNAP, formerly known as Food Stamps, is a program that helps Minnesotans with low incomes get the food they need for nutritious and well-balanced meals.

This program is not intended to meet all of your household's food needs but instead is a supplement and provides support to help stretch your household food budget.

Access to Benefits

Cards allow food purchases from authorized grocers, farmers markets and many other retailers where SNAP is accepted; look for "SNAP Accepted" sticker
