NJ SNAP & Other Benefits Programs
If you are seeking additional assistance, NJ SNAP (formerly known as food stamps), may be something you qualify for. See the resources below to help you check to see if you qualify for benefits, learn about the program, and see what other resources are available to you.
To find out where you can use your SNAP benefits, see the full list of NJ retailers here.
If you are ON-CAMPUS or NEAR CAMPUS, see the list of NJ retailers in the HARRISON/KEARNY/NEWARK area that accept SNAP benefits here.
For more information on NJ SNAP and to grab an information packet, email adanku@njit.edu to set up a meeting or visit the food pantry to pick up a packet.
In addition to NJ Snap, there are a few other programs available that you or your family may qualify for:
Additionally, any family receiving benefits from any of these programs will qualify for the Families First Discovery Pass. This program provides families and individuals enrolled in state assistance programs with free or highly discounted admission to arts and history organizations, venues, and programs – both in-person and virtual. - http://www.nj.gov/state/njsca/discoverypass/index.shtml
