Having a hard time paying for food?

Food Support leverages your financial resources, contributes to sound nutrition, and can be part of a plan for your financial security.

Eat Right When Money’s Tight
Formerly Food Stamps, the Food Support program can help you or someone you know to eat right when money’s tight. You no longer have to decide between paying medical or utility bills instead of buying food for your self or your family. The food Support program is a step towards self-sufficiency. With Food Support available, money can be spent on other needs.
