This update will bring an estimated 27% increase to maximum SNAP benefit allotments. FBNEGA is working hard to launch our SNAP Outreach Department by September 1, 2021. If you have any questions about SNAP application assistance, please reach out to me at SNAP@FoodBankNEGA.org." - Isaac Swier, SNAP Guru, Food Bank of Northeast Georgia #SNAP #Georgia #Biden #FoodInsecurity #FBNEGA #Nutrition #Money #FoodStamps
