I need emergency food stamps. I moved to Syracuse New York.

A) If you are in need of emergency food stamps in Syracuse, New York, there are a few resources available to you.

• The Onondaga County Department of Social Services (DSS) offers a program called Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which provides food stamps to low-income individuals and families. To apply for SNAP, you can visit the DSS office in person, or you can apply online at www.mybenefits.ny.gov. If you are approved for SNAP, you will receive a monthly benefit that can be used to purchase food at authorized retailers.
• The Food Bank of Central New York provides food to people in need through a network of food pantries and soup kitchens. You can find a food pantry near you by visiting the Food Bank’s website at www.foodbankcny.org.
