Please complete all demographic information. We are a federally funded program so families do need to be determined eligible under federal guidelines to apply. If your family is currently receiving SNAP benefits, this may be the only documentation you need to provide besides your child's proof of birth. Once we have your application, we will call or email you to check your gross annual income (what you earn-not what you take home). If you are experiencing issues around housing stability, are homeless or are applying for a foster child, or have no income, please let the recruiter know when they call you.
Please provide information about the child that you are applying for.
