We understand SNAP cards are slowly being refilled, but since it is unclear how quickly all who are impacted will receive full benefits, the City of Jersey City will continue to offer packaged meals at least through the end of next week, Friday 11/14/25.
We are monitoring the ongoing SNAP emergency and its impact on food access in our community. HealthierJC is working with local partners to coordinate emergency food relief efforts. Updates will be shared here and on our social media channels as new information becomes available.
