ANNOUNCEMENTS

Attention Residents in Tazewell County!

If you or someone you know lived or worked in Tazewell County and suffered financial hardships from Hurricane Helene between Sept. 25 and Oct. 24, you may qualify for temporary Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP) benefits. You do not have to be a current SNAP customer to be eligible for D-SNAP.

D-SNAP benefits are provided through a debit-like card and can be used to purchase food items at grocery stores and other authorized retailers. While current SNAP recipients are not eligible for D-SNAP, SNAP customers in the affected counties listed above who are not already receiving the maximum allotment in SNAP benefits will automatically receive a supplemental benefit on their existing Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card.
