Hawkins County Food Stamp Office of the Tennessee Department of Human Services provides food assistance to income-eligible households and individuals in Hawkins County, Tennessee. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as the Food Stamp Program, aims to help low-income households and individuals purchase nutritious food at authorized retail stores.
SNAP benefits are distributed electronically through an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card that can be used like a debit card at authorized grocery stores and farmers’ markets. The program’s benefits extend beyond providing immediate food assistance. SNAP can improve the overall health and well-being of participants, reduce food insecurity, and promote economic stability in the community.
