USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) works to reduce food insecurity and promote nutritious diets among the American people. The agency administers 15 nutrition assistance programs that leverage American’s agricultural abundance to ensure children and low-income individuals and families have nutritious food to eat.
Normally, participants are not allowed to use their benefits to buy foods that are sold hot at authorized SNAP retailers. You can only buy food that you plan to take home and prepare at home to eat.
