Food Assistance Programs

Making ends meet during difficult times can be easier with help from the right programs and other community resources. Cornell Cooperative Extension works with many local food assistance programs to help families and individuals find and access food resources that best meet their needs.

For St. Lawrence County food assistance resources such as pantries and community meal sites, please see the information compiled by our partners at GardenShare.

For the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), visit the St. Lawrence County Department of Social Services. 

For Women, Infants and Children (WIC), visit the Community Health Center of the North Country.

Eligible adults may request a referral to the Fruit and Vegetable Prescription Program. 

Medicaid members may be able to receive support from our Social Care Services Project.
