Mayor Encourages Seniors to Register for SNAP Benefits

Mayor Kapszukiewicz, joined members of the Area Office on Aging of Northwest Ohio at the J. Frank Troy Senior Center to encourage seniors to sign up for SNAP (Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program) benefits.

SNAP is a federal program that helps millions of low income Americans put nutritious food on the table.

“This is help that is available, and we want you to take advantage of it so that you can be happy and healthy,” Mayor Kapszukiewicz said.

Older adults age 60 and up, and also individuals with disabilities are eligible to apply for SNAP benefits.

“We have been challenged during this pandemic to help older adults that live alone get the kind of food that they need,” Billie Johnson, President/CEO of Area Office on Aging of Northwest Ohio, said.
