Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
We are excited to provide additional support through the SNAP program.
SNAP provides nutrition benefits to supplement the food budget of needy families so they can purchase healthy food and move towards self-sufficiency.
The Social Services Assistance (SSA) Team of the North Texas Food Bank, NTFB, is a Community Partner with Grayson Cares building a bridge between Health and Human Services (HHSC) and communities in our service area to provide access to food, cash, and healthcare assistance. While the SSA Team assists with the application process, they do not determine eligibility. HHSC processes the applications, determines eligibility, and has up to 30 days to process your SNAP application.
