SNAP | Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
Many Nevadans have trouble making ends meet each month. After paying for rent, utilities, transportation and child care, there is often little left over to buy nutritious food. But it doesn't have to be that way. Each month, thousands of families across the state turn to the Nevada State Division of Welfare and Supportive Services for assistance in the form of SNAP benefits to help feed their families. Learn how you can receive help if you qualify.

With more than 400 youth streaming through our doors, our members participate daily in academic and recreational programming.
