SNAP BENEFIT FOR TITUS COUNTY STORM VICTIMS

Victims of the mid-June storms that caused numerous power outages and subsequent food losses can apply for replacement benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in a dozen Texas counties. Those counties include Titus, Camp, Cass, Franklin, Gregg, Harrison, Marion, Morris, Ochiltree, Panola, Upshur and Wood.

“For families that have been impacted by the recent storms, these replacement food benefits will help provide some peace of mind,” said Michelle Alletto, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.

SNAP recipients with food lost or destroyed during the storms can apply by July 14 by dialing 2-1-1 and selecting option 8.
