Florida D-SNAP locations announced for hurricane relief assistance

By Good Info News Wire

November 15, 2024

In response to the impact of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, the Department of Children and Families (DCF) has unveiled D-SNAP (Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) sites across several Florida counties. This initiative aims to provide essential food support to residents affected by these hurricanes who are not already benefiting from the regular SNAP program.

Residents of Citrus, Flagler, Highlands, Madison, Pasco, Volusia, and Wakulla counties who have pre-registered but missed their D-SNAP phone interview can now attend an in-person interview at designated locations. If the phone interview was already completed, attending in person is unnecessary.

For those not yet pre-registered, the Department is reopening online pre-registration for these counties. It is advised to complete this process online prior to attending the in-person interview. The online pre-registration period corresponds with the event duration. For more details, visit www.myflfamilies.com/DSNAP.

The Department is committed to establishing D-SNAP sites across approved counties, with announcements forthcoming as new locations open.
