The Illinois Department of Human Services is offering food assistance to people still cleaning up from the damaging floods at the end of July.

Families affected by last month’s flooding can qualify for the equivalent of food stamps.

The Capital Area Food Bank unveiled its new mobile food pantry on Monday.

Nearly one out of every seven Rhode Islanders gets food stamps now, as a combination of high unemployment, expanded eligibility and stepped-up outreach has doubled enrollment in the federally funded program.

The long wait is over for Nevada City Farmers Market and residents who rely on Food Stamp (EBT) benefits to purchase healthy food for their families. After an eight-month process, the market will begin accepting EBT benefits this Saturday.
