IMPORTANT SNAP BENEFITS UPDATE:
Nov. 14, 2025: The State of Ohio has begun the process to ensure all SNAP recipients receive their full benefits for November. Most SNAP recipients should have already received partial benefits, though some may have received nothing under the previous federal guidance. The state does not have an expected date for when remaining benefits will be issued.
SNAP recipients are encouraged to check their account using the ConnectEBT app or through the Ohio Benefits Self-Service Portal.
Mid-Ohio Food Collective and their network of partners continue to serve residents and families facing food insecurity. You can find a list of pantries, free meal sites and other emergency food resources in your area by visiting freshtrak.com or mofc.org/get-help.
