Sometimes people feel that they shouldn't need help to get food on the table, but sometimes it is a struggle to make ends meet. If you are not sure how or if you can pay for your next meal or the food for the next week, NJ SNAP can help.

NJ SNAP, formerly known as Food Stamps, is New Jersey's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program that can help low-income families buy the groceries they need to eat healthy.
