SNAP At-A-Glance

Anyone can lose a job, become sick, or need to take care of a child or family member. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP, sometimes known as the EBT card, helps kids in central Pennsylvania grow up strong. Without the right nutrition, kids can struggle in school–and beyond. We need to modernize SNAP so that it reflects rising food prices and what it costs to feed a family in 2021. The average benefit someone receives is just $1.40 per person per meal. That is because SNAP benefits are still based on food preparation costs developed in 1975.
