The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) formerly known as The Food Stamp Program helps Minnesotans with low incomes, including temporary low incomes, get the food they need for nutritious and well-balanced meals.
The program provides extra support to help stretch a household’s food budget and is not meant to cover all the groceries a family needs.
