The Georgia Food Stamp Program (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), is a federally-funded program that provides monthly benefits to low-income households to help pay for the cost of food. A household may be one (1) person living alone, a family, or several unrelated individuals cohabitating who routinely purchase and prepare meals together. To learn more or sign up, click here. 

The Benefits Outreach team at the Atlanta Community Food Bank continues to be available to families in need to apply for SNAP/Food Stamps over the phone. They also provide support for other benefits including Medicaid and WIC. Please have your clients call our benefits outreach team at 678-553-5917 or send an email to Benefits@acfb.org.  You can share this great resource on social media using our English and Spanish language flyers.

"Atlanta Mission works to end homelessness, one person at a time, via a holistic approach — addressing the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of our guests. We have five facilities, each serving the needs of different segments of the homeless population. We serve men, women, and children who have lost jobs, faced eviction, been abused, battled addictions, fought mental illness, and much more. God cares about the whole person, and so do we."
