The web site of the Illinois Department of Human Services provides comprehensive information about SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly Food Stamps), beginning with the application. You can also indicate a need for medical assistance and cash assistance on the same form.
I was surprised to learn that in addition to grocery stores, some Farmers' Markets accept the Link card, which is an electronic card that works like a debit card. A list of Farmers' Markets in Illinois is listed on the web site.
You will find a list of related links, including disability and rehabilitation, youth services, alcoholism and addiction, and childcare on the web.
