Food help when money is tight

SNAP, WIC, school meals and food banks.

4 min read

If food money is tight, there's help. Using it is what it's there for.

Where to look

  • SNAP: monthly benefits for groceries, through your state
  • WIC: food and support for pregnant people, new parents and young children
  • Free and reduced-price school meals
  • Local food banks and pantries; dial 211 to find one near you

Good to know

Applying is free. Never pay anyone to help you apply for SNAP or WIC.

Programs and rules vary by state; check your state's website or call 211. Smart Stash Daily isn't paid by any store, brand or delivery service.
