Food Support

Did you know that effective January 1, 2009, the Food Support (Food Stamp) Program rules changed?

If you have been told in the past that you could only receive three months of Food Support OR were told that you are no longer eligible because you used your three months, you may be eligible to get Food Support until December 31, 2009

Because of changes in the Food Support Program, participation in the Food Support Employment and Training program is now voluntary.

However, if you are interested in volunteering for the Employment and Training Program, talk to your financial worker. Your participation is voluntary, buty may help you access support services such as help with transportation, tools, equipment, supplies, uniforms, clothing suitable for job interviews, as well as other services.
