ALERT:
We have received guidance that the USDA is suspending SNAP benefits as of November 1, until federal funding is provided, or until USDA directs State agencies otherwise.
You can still use any SNAP benefits currently on your EBT card. Additionally, you still need to send in your paperwork and recertify on time. Doing these things will make sure your benefits start again quickly once the pause ends.
If you do not currently receive SNAP benefits, you should keep applying for SNAP during this pause. Agencies will still look at your application and decide if you qualify, but new benefits won’t be given out until the pause is over. For assistance with signing up for SNAP and other potential benefits, please call (877) 833-2550 or visit benefitsenrollmentcenter.org.
Find Food Assistance
Feeding the Gulf Coast has a network of community partners that are prepared to provide groceries to those in need. Hours of operation may be limited; please call the agency before attending a distribution to see if days or hours may have changed.
In addition to our agencies, this feature will also allow you to find Food Distributions and Child Meal Sites.
- Food Distributions are single-day food drops in your area (also known as a Mobile Pantry).
- Child Meal Sites are sites serving daily meals for children, ages 18 and younger. The child must be present to receive the meal.
