General Resources
Foodlink offers a comprehensive “Find Food” online resource listing local food pantries, meal programs, and Pop-up Pantries to support those facing food insecurity.
SNAP recipients can check eligibility changes through a new screening tool thanks to TogetherNow – SNAP Work Rules Screener.
SNAP recipients should also stay on top of any communications from Monroe County and consult NYS OTDA and Monroe County website (or their local county website) for clarification about how new federal legislation may impact their SNAP eligibility in the coming months.
A dedicated “SNAP Line” staffed by Foodlink Benefit Navigators is available at
585-413-5091 or via email at snap@foodlinkny.org to assist with questions.
SNAP benefits information will continue to be updated on the OTDA website; NYC ACCESS HRA; myBenefits; and the ebtEDGE website, app and customer service line (1-888-328-6399).
