Department of Children and Families (DCF) Secretary Shevaun Harris announced that two Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP) locations will be open Friday, October 21 through Sunday, October 23 in Hardee and Polk counties for applicants who want to complete their interview on-site. D-SNAP provides food assistance for individuals and families impacted by Hurricane Ian and who are not receiving food assistance benefits through the regular Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

Individuals who did not pre-register online before October 16th in these counties are encouraged to pre-register electronically on our website at www.myflfamilies.com/dsnap beginning Friday and then visit the on-site location in their county to complete the interview by Sunday.
