Getting Food Help During the SNAP Pause
If you get SNAP benefits (also called food stamps or EBT), you may see changes soon. Some SNAP benefits will pause. We know this can be stressful. But help is available. Community Health Choice wants to make sure you and your family have the food you need.
What’s Happening?
SNAP benefits will pause soon. This means you may not get your usual food assistance. Many families count on SNAP to buy groceries each month. We understand how important this help is.
You’re Not Alone
Thousands of families in our community use SNAP benefits. You are not alone if you’re worried about feeding your family. Many local organizations want to help you during this time.
Where to Get Food Now
Community Health Choice has put together a list of food resources in your area. This list includes:
- Food banks and pantries near you
- Phone numbers to call for help
- Hours and locations
Download our Food Assistance Resource Guide to find help close to home. This information will change as new help becomes available.
