Food & Cash Benefits

Food stamps and cash assistance programs help families meet basic needs during times of financial hardship. Food stamps offers eligible households monthly benefits to purchase food, ensuring that families do not go hungry. Cash assistance offers direct financial assistance to cover essential expenses. These programs are vital in reducing poverty, promoting food security, and supporting families as they work toward self-sufficiency and financial stability.
