A current letter from Family Services documenting you are approved for food stamps and date approved. 2. Show a food stamp card along with a grocery receipt that is less than 30 days old. The receipt must show an EBT F/S balance of greater than $0.00 sometime during the last 30 days. 3.

In order to try to keep everyone safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is suggested you wear a mask and practice social distancing during the application process.
