Changes to Gift Card Distribution for Albany County Residents for SNAP Benefits Assistance Due to the Government Shutdown

Post Date:11/13/2025 3:00 pm

Due to progress on SNAP benefit awards being added directly to client cards, we are cancelling our Saturday grocery store gift card distributions. Friday's distributions will be held as scheduled. As a reminder, distributions are for Albany County residents only. We kindly ask that only those who qualify bring the proper documentation. By following these guidelines, we can make the process smoother, fairer, and more efficient for everyone involved, and ensure that no one spends time waiting in line only to find out they cannot receive a card.
