Snap Benefits & Eligibility Presentation
Thursday, April 30th @ 6:30pm
Riverside Branch Library

SNAP is a federal program that provides nutritional assistance to low-income households. Benefits supplement the food budgets of families and individuals so they may purchase more and higher quality foods using the EBT (Electronics Benefits Transfer) card. While many Rhode Islanders participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, thousands of our neighbors are unaware of their eligibility or need help in order to access benefits. This presentation will provide basic information about the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and its benefits.

All programs are free and open to all.
Riverside Branch Library is located at 475 Bullocks Point Ave, Riverside, RI 02915.
