The federal food assistance program, SNAP, sometimes also called Food Stamps, is available to low-income households to encourage healthy food choices. We have developed a new guide aimed at educating senior citizens about the benefits of this great program

Please feel free to visit our Food Stamps for Seniors guide at

We are also including our guide to Meals on Wheels, which is another great meal program for seniors, in case you find it useful for your community as well:
