SNAP or Food and Nutrition Services (also known as Food Stamps) may be able to help you. The benefits are given on an EBT card that works like a debit card. You can use it to buy food at stores that accept EBT cards. Look for signs that say, “We accept SNAP benefits.” Apply for SNAP online.

For help with the SNAP application: call Katy Forrest at 919-909-7469, Milagros Guzman at 910-705-5504 (Español), or the “More in My Basket” program: 1-855-240-1451(English); 1-888-382-7105 (Español); morefood.org. WIC is a program to help women, infants, and children get food. Call Lincoln Community Health at 919-956-4042 to apply. Learn more about the SNAP Program.
