Information on SNAP Food Benefits administered through the Tennessee HHS Commission can be accessed at this link.  The SNAP (Special Nutrition Assistance Program) food benefits (used to be called food stamps) helps people with low incomes and resources buy the food they need for good health.

With the rising cost of food, feeding a family on a budget isn't easy, but there are resources that can help.  Many states also run food banks where you can get food for your family.  Check TN.gov to see what is available in your community and to find out if you need to make an appointment to visit the food bank.  

Many times we run into a situation where just being able to meet the basic needs of us and our families seems out of reach.  Simple things like a place to live, transportation, and food can be a challenge when you are new out of custody, or out of work.
