HOW TO GET HELP

Food Assistance Program in Adams County

We’re here to support families, seniors, veterans and all who find it difficult to make ends meet each month. We understand the very real difficulties facing low-income residents, from increasing living costs to struggling to cover monthly expenses even with being employed. We’re dedicated to ensuring your family doesn’t go hungry. Plus, we offer assistance applying for SNAP and Medicare, as well as job readiness programs.
