Do your children receive free or reduced school lunch? Are you eligible for the earned income tax credit? Do you receive fuel assistance?
If you meet the criteria for these programs, you may also meet the income guidelines for food assistance through the federal Food Stamp Program.
Food Stamps can help you provide your children with the nutritious food they need to do their best in school.
For more information about Food Stamps and other food resources, or to find out if you are eligible, call Projects Bread's FoodSource Hotline, Monday-Friday from 8 am to 5 pm. 1-800-645-8333
