Who We Are

Gloucester County Department of Social Services participates in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as Food Stamps.  SNAP benefits are electronic benefits that can be used like cash to buy food at any store that has a sign displaying the Quest logo or a picture of the Virginia Electronic Transfer Benefit card.



Each eligible household will receive a card that may be used like a bank debit card to purchase eligible food items from your account. Plants and seeds to grow a garden can also be purchased.



Program is designed to help people become self-sufficient and independent, as well as preventing hunger and malnutrition.
