The Roots of SNAP
The SNAP we know today was originally shaped by the 1964 Food Stamp Act, part of President Lyndon B. Johnson‘s sweeping Great Society programs, created to address nutritional needs and food security for those living in poverty.
From its historic 1964 roots, SNAP continues to uphold its mission, offering a nutritious helping hand to millions, contributing to a healthier, well-fed nation.
Although SNAP is a federal program, it reveals a tapestry of diversity with slight variations across all 50 states and Washington, D.C., effectively tailoring to the unique demographics of each region while maintaining its core mission.
