SNAP Services

Nachas is the premiere agency in Brooklyn certified to facilitate SNAP benefits.

With poverty on the rise, Nachas helps struggling families tap into the benefits SNAP, formerly known as food stamps, offers. We help families prepare the documents necessary for their application and work with your family individually to ensure that your process is smooth and glitch-free.

Our work doesn’t end when you leave the office; we ensure hat each application is processed correctly with the necessary government office. Our pre-screenings and personal advocacy for you are the catalysts to equip your family with the least hurdles and most benefits you are entitled to receive.
