SNAP - You may have heard the term SNAP or seen signs advertising its availability and wondered what it is referring to. SNAP stands for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. SNAP is not a new program but simply another name for the Wisconsin FoodShare program. FoodShare eligibility limits and benefit amounts have substantially increased. If you are age 60 or older and have monthly income of $1,805 or less (individual) or $2,428 (couple) then you are eligible for FoodShare and are automatically eligible for at least a $16 per month benefit. However, your monthly benefit could be much, much higher. For 2010 a single person can receive a benefit of up to $200 per month and a married couple of up to $367 per month.
Volunteers Needed - Senior Dining Program is in need of volunteers. The program can’t run without them. We are asking for only one or two days per week from 10:30-1:00 and you don’t even have to leave the building! Volunteers will receive a free meal on the day they work.
