The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, called Basic Food in Washington, helps people with low incomes make ends meet by providing monthly benefits to buy food.
There are two primary ways to receive help: request volunteers to help with simple work, or submit a request for help/financial assistance which will be shared with church partners. There are no guarantees for assistance, and it can take some time (often 3-8 weeks) to arrange. Fill out the "Get Help" form online to request assistance.
