Basic Needs (Food, Clothes)

Do you qualify for Basic Food?

Basic Food (also known as SNAP) helps people buy groceries. The amount of your monthly benefit is based on family size, income and expenses. You might qualify, even if you have a job. You can visit the Washington Connection website to apply. The website offers a fast and easy way for families and individuals to apply for a variety of services such as Food, Cash, Child Care, Long-Term Care, and Medicare Savings Programs. If you need application assistance you can give our Family Resource Coordinator a call at (253) 800-6862.
