FoodShare
The FoodShare program assists families and individuals with food insecurity purchase food with a monthly benefit. The monthly benefit is added to a card that allows participants to purchase food items at grocery stores throughout the state.
In addition, FoodShare participants can work with our Food Share Employment and Training (FSET) staff to work toward self-sufficiency by gaining skills needed to find and keep employment.
