Food Share Wisconsin

FoodShare Wisconsin was created to help stop hunger and to improve nutrition and health. FoodShare helps people with limited money buy the food they need for good health. Each month, people across Wisconsin get help from FoodShare. They are people of all ages who have a job but have low incomes, are living on small or fixed income, have lost their job, retired or are disabled and not able to work.

FoodShare Wisconsin is Wisconsin's version of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) SNAP, formerly known as the Food Stamp Program, provides food benefits, access to a healthy diet, and education on food preparation and nutrition to low-income households. Recipients spend their benefits (provided on an electronic card that is used like an ATM card) to buy eligible food in authorized retail food stores 

Eligibility is determined based on household size and income. Apply for FoodShare online at: https://access.wisconsin.gov/access/ or call McFarland Senior Outreach for assistance at 608-838-7117.
