Find Food or the Support You Need
Together, we’re here to help—whether you need food, help enrolling in benefits, or support accessing other essential resources.

What is SNAP?
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps individuals and families with low incomes buy the food they need for good health. Approved applicants receive a monthly benefit on an EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) card, which works like a debit card and can be used at grocery stores and participating farmers markets. In New York, eligibility is based on income, household size, and other factors. Many working families, older adults, and individuals with disabilities qualify.
What is WIC?
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) provides healthy food, nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and referrals to healthcare and social services. You may qualify if you live in New York State, are pregnant or postpartum, or have a child under age 5, and meet income guidelines. Benefits are loaded monthly onto an eWIC card, which can be used at participating stores for approved foods. Dads, grandparents, and caregivers can apply for eligible children in their care.
Fill out the form below and a member of our team will reach out to guide you through available food resources and programs in your area.
