The Food Stamp Act of 1964 provided a federal program to assist low-income households in purchasing food. It established the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which provided eligible participants with a designated amount of money each month to purchase food. The program aimed to address food insecurity and malnutrition in the United States. The program has since expanded and is one of the largest federal nutrition assistance programs in the country, serving millions of individuals and families.
