The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a federal program that provides nutrition benefits to income-eligible individuals and families that can be used to purchase food at grocery stores, convenience stores, and some farmers’ markets and co-op food programs. SNAP is the program formerly known as food stamps.
The SNAP program is administered by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) through its nationwide network of FNS field offices.
CCSOMO assists individuals and households to determine eligibility and enroll in and re-certify for SNAP benefits.
CCSOMO’s SNAP assistance services are made possible through a grant from the Walmart Foundation.
To be eligible for SNAP benefits in Missouri, an applicant must be a state resident and meet low-income guidelines. SNAP income limits can be found at this Missouri Department of Social Services (MO DSS) webpage. A MO DSS brochure is available for download here.
