In a food emergency?

  • See if you qualify for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) when you apply at mnbenefits.mn.gov. Expedited SNAP assistance helps families in emergencies get benefits more quickly. Families who qualify for Expedited SNAP assistance can get benefits in 7 days or less.
