Meet individually with a specialist from the Coastal Bend Food Bank to receive help completing the SNAP application for food benefits as well as referrals to community resources. If you’re feeling overwhelmed about the application or have been denied in the past, this is a great opportunity to receive support throughout the process. Bringing the following information/documents (if applicable) will speed up the process. However, you can still start the application and consult with a specialist if you do not have these documents with you!
- Driver’s license or state ID for all adults in the household
- Social Security Number for all members of the household
- Proof of income from the past 30 days, or a Social Security award letter, or a financial aid award letter
- Lease agreement or mortgage information
- Citizenship paperwork (naturalization documents or green card)
- Three most recent bank statements
- Electricity or water bill
