• Monday, November 3rd - Friday, November 7th
  • including Tuesday on Election Day

• Union County Administration Building
  • 10 Elizabethtown Plaza, Elizabeth, NJ 07207
• Assemblyman Gerald Green Plaza
  • 200 West 2nd Street, Plainfield, NJ 07060

To receive assistance, you must:

• Be a current SNAP recipient
• Be the head of household listed on the case
