SNAP offers nutrition assistance to millions of eligible, low-income individuals and families
and provides economic benefits to communities. SNAP is the largest program in the
domestic hunger safety net. The Food and Nutrition Service works with State agencies,
nutrition educators, and neighborhood and faith-based organizations to ensure that those
eligible for nutrition assistance can make informed decisions about applying for the program and can access benefits. FNS also works with State partners and the retail community to improve program administration and ensure program integrity.
