The Maine Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Orono is dedicated to providing financial assistance to low-income households, ensuring they can purchase the nutritious food necessary for maintaining a healthy diet. With benefits distributed through an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, individuals can easily access their food assistance in a manner similar to using a debit card. To apply for benefits, you can visit or call your local DHHS Office for Family Independence; there's no need for extensive paperwork—just complete a quick interactive interview. Whether you're applying online using our convenient Prescreening Tool or submitting a printed form, SNAP is here to support you in accessing essential food resources so you can thrive. Join us in our mission to ensure every household in Maine has the nutrition they need to lead a healthy life.
