SNAP is a government program that provides assistance to low-income households that are eligible to purchase the food that is necessary for them to maintain good health. On a Lone Star Card, which functions in a manner that is comparable to that of a credit card, food benefits are loaded. Food can be purchased with this card at any store that is a SNAP-accepting establishment.
