What is SNAP?
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a proven and effective tool that helps to reduce food insecurity, improve health outcomes, support low-paid workers and bolster local economies. Also known as food stamps, SNAP assists hundreds of thousands of Georgia households with fixed incomes, low incomes, modest or unpredictable earnings to afford the cost of food, especially when the economy is weak or when food costs are high.
