Many people, coming out of jail, do not always have money especially for food. Here are some things that assist with that.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly the Food Stamp Program) is a critical part of a reentry support infrastructure, providing basic food assistance and supplementing inadequate income. Log on to https://gateway.ga.gov and select “Apply for Benefits.
The Georgia Food Stamps (EBT) program provides monthly benefits to low-income households to help pay for the cost of food.
A household may be one person living alone, a family, or several unrelated individuals living together who routinely purchase and prepare meals together. Anyone may apply for food stamp benefits. The program helps households that have limited income and resources. You can sign up for this using the same link from before.
