The Douglas County Department of Family and Children Services (DFCS) provides food assistance to low-income individuals and families through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). SNAP benefits can be used to purchase food at authorized retail stores.
To apply for SNAP benefits, you must meet certain eligibility requirements, including income and asset limits. You can apply for SNAP benefits online, by mail, or in person at your local DFCS office. If you are approved for SNAP benefits, you will receive a monthly Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card that you can use to purchase food.
