• Apply for New Hampshire EBT online on the government website. This is the fastest and easiest way to apply for food benefits.
• Did you know you can buy this?!Many people think that you can only buy food with your food stamps card, but that’s not technically true. Your food stamps card can do much more than buy groceries! You can also buy seeds, produce-bearing plants, some birthday cakes and even certain gift baskets!
• Did you know you can shop here?! You can use your NH food stamps funds in  unexpected places. In addition to most grocery stores and gas stations, you can use your card at Costco, many farmer’s markets and even Schwans food delivery trucks!
