Resources and Links

Here is a list of information and links that has helped me out in the last few years. Check them out and see if they do the same for you!

Government Benefits

So you're not sure how to get started applying for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and other government benefits? It's not difficult, I promise, and you'll be happy you did once you can go to the store and buy healthy food for your family without worrying about the cost.

Iowa residents, go to:
http://www.dhs.state.ia.us/ to view the entire Department of Human Services website, click on "Assistance Programs" in the red box on the upper left or go directly to: http://www.dhs.state.ia.us/Consumers/Test/AssistancePrograms.html to find descriptions and instructions for application for food, medical, child care, and cash assistance. You can even apply for all these things at once if you need to!

Non-Iowa residents, visit:
http://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/ to find out if you qualify for SNAP benefits, realtors that accept the SNAP card, and much more.
