About Essex County Department of Citizen Services Food Stamp Office
The Essex County Department of Citizen Services Food Stamp Office, located in Newark, NJ, administers the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) for Newark residents. Often called "food stamps," SNAP benefits provide nutrition assistance for income-eligible households. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) oversees the SNAP program, and SNAP Offices distribute benefits to Newark residents. The program reduces food insecurity and poverty by providing supplemental nutrition assistance for low-income households.
