Wyoming Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)


Did you know that for every five people that are eligible for SNAP in Wyoming, only three are receiving benefits? The Wyoming SNAP is taking the necessary steps to reach all people that meet the 130 percent poverty level, by reaching out to all potential individuals and families. SNAP, under the Department of Family Services (DFS), provides crucial support to needy households and to those making the transition from welfare to work. Our mission is to raise the levels of nutrition among low-income households, and provide them more nutritious foods for a better diet. SNAP follows regulations and rules established by the Federal government and the Food Stamp (SNAP) Act of 1977 as the basis for the present day program.
