Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as the Food Voucher Program, provides monthly benefits that help low-income families buy the food they need for good health.
SNAP is a federal program managed at the local level by the Mississippi Department of Human Services.
Nationally, SNAP is the largest program in the national hunger safety net.
SNAPs are intended to be a supplement to one's income to help ensure that nutritional needs are met.
Mississippi residents facing food insecurity are invited to apply for the program.
