What is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)?
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a federal aid program administered by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) that provides financial assistance to low-income individuals and families for purchasing food. It is designed to improve nutrition and reduce food insecurity. Given the high costs associated with cancer treatment, many cancer patients may find themselves in need of this vital assistance to ensure they maintain a healthy diet during their treatment and recovery.
