The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a government initiative designed to help low-income individuals and families access nutritious food. It provides financial assistance through an electronic benefits transfer (EBT) card, which can be used to purchase eligible food items at grocery stores and farmers' markets. SNAP aims to reduce hunger and improve the health of participants by ensuring they can afford healthy meals. To qualify for SNAP, applicants must meet certain income and resource guidelines. The program is vital for many households, especially during tough economic times, as it helps them maintain a balanced diet and supports overall well-being.
