Update November 17, 2025: With the government reopening on November 12th, the below relief offers from merchants may have changed. Please consult with each retailer/merchant to verify available coupons or discounts.

Several corporate and community partners, along with state governments, have announced measures to ease the burden for SNAP shoppers. This post outlines what’s currently available nationwide and by state, plus other resources you can tap during this uncertain time.
