A food stamp office is a government office that provides food assistance to low-income individuals and families. Food stamp offices are typically located in county or city government buildings. In Memphis, the food stamp office is located at 1900 Madison Avenue. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 4:30pm.
Food stamps, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), are a vital resource for many low-income families. SNAP benefits can be used to purchase food at grocery stores and farmers markets. SNAP benefits can also be used to purchase seeds and plants to grow food at home. In 2020, SNAP benefits helped over 42 million people put food on the table.
