SNAP - Food Stamps
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as Food Stamps, is a Connecticut Department of Social Services program that helps low-income individuals and families afford the cost of food at grocery stores and farmers’ markets. Volunteers are available at our office by appointment to take applications. If you are interested in scheduling an appointment or would like more information, please call (860) 561-7561.
