SNAP Application Assistance

Do you need help affording groceries?
We all experience tough times, and it’s okay to ask for help. If you are finding it difficult to put enough nutritious food on the table for you or your family to thrive, consider applying for SNAP.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as “food stamps,” is a federal program that helps qualifying families and individuals buy the food they need to support their health and well-being. SNAP can help participating households stretch their budgets by providing money for food so that they can use their other funds for things like medical bills and rent. SNAP benefits are provided on an electronic benefits card (EBT), similar to a debit card. They can be used to purchase food at participating grocery stores, convenience stores, and farmer’s markets.
How can I apply for benefits? You can apply directly with the State of Missouri online by visiting myDSS.gov or calling the Missouri Family Support Division at (855) 373-4636.
