The Food Stamp Program, administered in Pennsylvania by the Department of Public Welfare, provides participants with vouchers that are then used in retail food stores to cover the cost of food. Eligibility for the program depends upon a variety of criteria, including income and resource guidelines and monthly family expenses. Potential participants must apply through their local Food Stamp office.
