Food assistance for women and families centers on SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children), the National School Lunch Program, Feeding America food banks, and Meals on Wheels. WIC serves pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and children up to age 5, providing food packages, nutrition counseling, and breastfeeding peer support — household income limit is 185% of the Federal Poverty Level. SNAP eligibility is generally 130% FPL. Food banks operate in every state and typically require no application for an initial visit. This directory includes each state's SNAP office, WIC clinics, and regional food bank networks.
