Fruits, vegetables and other healthy foods can help you and your family be healthy and productive. Sometimes these healthy foods are expensive, and families need extra help purchasing them. To see if you are eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), visit www.dhs.iowa.gov/how-to-apply.
