Food stamps, also known as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, are a form of government assistance that provides low-income individuals and families with financial support to purchase food. In Jamaica, the food stamp program is known as the Programme of Advancement Through Health and Education (PATH).
PATH provides monthly cash grants to eligible households to help them meet their basic needs, including food, nutrition, and other essential expenses. The program aims to reduce food insecurity, improve nutritional outcomes, and promote overall well-being among vulnerable populations.
