The Food Stamp Program serves as the first line of defense against hunger.
It enables low-income families to buy nutritious food with coupons and
Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards. Food stamp recipients spend
their benefits to buy eligible food in authorized retail food stores.
The Program is the cornerstone of the Federal food assistance programs,
and provides crucial support to needy households and to those making the
transition from welfare to work.
