What are Food Stamps and how do I sign up?
The State of Nevada runs the Food Stamp program (SNAP) which assists low-income households in supplementing the purchase of food. To be eligible, applicants must meet income and asset limits. Informational seminars to assist seniors 60+ in applying are held monthly at the Reno Senior Center. Please check our newsletter for dates or call 328-2575 or call Nevada State Welfare, 684-7200.
