Most food stamp offices are closed today, Saturday, January 24, 2026. If you planned to visit in person, you’ll need to wait until Monday.
SNAP offices follow a standard government schedule. That means physical locations are typically open Monday through Friday only, usually from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM or 5:00 PM local time.
But you’re not completely out of options this weekend.
Some states offer Saturday phone support. For example, Kentucky runs a call center on Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM Eastern Time, according to state program guidelines. It’s worth checking if your state does the same.
Even with offices closed, you can still manage your benefits online. Most states let you apply for SNAP, upload documents, or check your case status 24/7 through official portals like Texas Benefits, Georgia Gateway, or NYC Access HRA.
Need to check your EBT card balance? You can do that anytime using the ebtEDGE website or mobile app. No office visit required.
If you’re facing an emergency food situation today, help is available. The National Hunger Hotline connects people to local food resources. You can reach them at 1-866-3-HUNGRY (1-866-348-6479), and the service is free.
To confirm the exact hours or find contact info for your nearest SNAP office, use an official locator tool:
- USDA SNAP Office Locator — search by ZIP code nationwide
- Tennessee Family Assistance Locator — for TN residents
- Indiana DFR Office Finder — for Indiana cases
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which oversees SNAP, more than 42 million Americans rely on the program each month. Knowing how to access support outside of business hours can make a big difference.
Bottom line: While most food stamp offices are closed on weekends, you still have ways to get help—online, by phone, or through emergency food services.
