All local DTA Offices are closed Friday 2/25 due to winter storm: reminder re SNAP Replacement "Misfortune" Benefits

FoodSNAP
Head's up - DTA offices are CLOSED 2/25. See DTA alert below. 
 
But, don't forget, SNAP households that lose power for 4+ hours and where food purchased with SNAP is unsafe to eat can apply for SNAP replacement benefits. Here's info on MLRI's webpage on SNAP Misfortune and how SNAP households can request replacement benefits if needed. https://www.masslegalservices.org/content/snap-replacement-benefits-due-natural-disaster-power-loss-flooding-or-other-misfortune
 
Yesterday it was 68 degrees and sunny. Tomorrow, another snowstorm!  Oy vey!
