Get Help with Groceries: How SNAP Supports Families & Strengthens Your Immune System

At Mountain Resource Center, we believe that everyone deserves access to nutritious food. If you’re struggling to put food on the table, SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) can help by providing monthly funds for groceries. And beyond keeping your pantry stocked, healthy eating is also essential for strengthening your immune system—helping you fight off illnesses like COVID-19, the flu, and seasonal colds.

How Can SNAP Help?

SNAP is a federally funded program that provides monthly benefits to qualifying individuals and families to help them afford food. These benefits can be used at grocery stores, farmers’ markets, and even some online retailers to purchase fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy, proteins, and more.

✅ Eases financial stress – Helps stretch your budget so you can cover other essentials like rent and utilities.
✅ Encourages healthier eating – Gives access to nutritious foods that support overall well-being.
✅ Supports families & individuals – Available to people of all ages, including seniors, single parents, and those working low-income jobs.

Healthy Eating & Your Immune System

Eating a balanced, nutritious diet not only keeps you full but also helps your body fight off infections like COVID-19, the flu, and colds.

🥦 Vitamin-rich foods (like leafy greens & citrus fruits) boost your immune response.
🍗 Protein sources (like lean meats, eggs & beans) help build antibodies.
🥛 Dairy & fortified foods provide essential vitamins like Vitamin D, which supports immune function.

When you have access to healthy food options, you’re not just feeding your body—you’re giving it the tools to stay strong and resilient against illness.
