MAKING FRESH FOOD CONNECTIONS Fresh Food Connections (FFC) works to make local food more accessible for Michigan residents who are eligible for SNAP benefits. SNAP, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, provides benefits to low-income individuals and families through an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card that is used like a debit card. In Michigan, this card is often called the Bridge Card. SNAP is the largest and most widely used assistance program in the country, but currently can only be used to purchase food online through select retailers, such as Amazon, Walmart, and Aldi.
