Putting Healthy Food within Reach

USDA's Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services today announced the advent of a new era in nutrition assistance at USDA. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the new name of the Food Stamp Program, as a result of the recently enacted Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-246), also known as the Farm Bill. The new name, effective October 1, 2008 more accurately reflects the Program's mission to provide food assistance and nutrition education to assist participants as they move to a healthier lifestyle and self-sufficiency.

"The national name change and implementation of the Farm Bill provisions strengthens the ability to more effectively put healthy food within reach by increasing access to all who are eligible. This is a great opportunity to showcase this effective and efficient modern nutrition program and make clear to all that SNAP puts healthy food on table in AZ.
