ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — As people across Florida continue to recover from Hurricane Ian, a new Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program location opened in Pinellas County on Thursday.
The location is at Tropicana Field and will remain open until Saturday, Nov. 5 to help applicants complete their in-person interview, the Department of Children and Families announced in a news release Tuesday.
It will operate from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Through D-SNAP, people and families impacted by Hurricane Ian can receive food assistance only if they are not receiving food assistance benefits through the regular SNAP.
Those living in Pinellas County are required to pre-register to receive assistance and can do so online. They will then be asked to complete a phone interview or an in-person interview at a D-SNAP location, the news release mentioned.
