How to help SNAP recipients by not grocery shopping on certain days unless you have an urgent need.

[ehrnst]

If you are not on SNAP benefits, and can avoid going to the store on the three days that start with the reloading of SNAP/WIC benefits cards in your state, please do. This is the time when those on food support will do the bulk of their shopping for the month.

Here's a link to schedules for all the states:

If you can avoid buying too many items that are labled "WIC Eligible" please do - those on SNAP/WIC have no alternatives if these items run out.

Stay safe out there!

3. TN bases it on the last 2 digits of SS#,

so only from the 21st or so to the end of the month would be available.
