Extra Federal COVID Food Funds for MA Families 

Ending Next Week

Good afternoon, 

During the COVID pandemic, extra Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits have been available each month to help families buy food (minimum of an extra $95/month per household).  <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Ligu-gGO7_nw5aSXXwtAdfsrZ3NVZaKjbPv8brpshko4MljyBX_LeT-TVfoxI9f-OOtSy6mBpKGgt4guR6gukfM-1gvSqxR0hZOR3smqId0P0NXUeCjhCIBU_z5NJS80gbVmk2vUiaKIUid-7n1pOyGK5jDdV8r8rkS0NLC47uKEMt82Tb5UDqO26UVRW4nGpvb7PnfVERUib6pITB6WYX85hPLTQyzitzTvPJWtMsY=&c=feMHVKy2f1YEW5Unta54csNiLCQR1LEGNc85ggTk_lwybnmwiAa3oA==&ch=llWrg37LmKBBVM_8dGqOfM5MSQFQVioX5g37At0R19qGYjwHgcI1FQ==> Due to recent action by the federal government, these benefits are ending February 2023. This means more than 640,000 households in Massachusetts will receive their last extra federal SNAP payment next Thursday, March 2, 2023. 

Please spread the word on how residents can get the most out of their SNAP benefits and other resources available to help:
