Quick answers
How do I apply for SNAP in Wyoming?
Visit your local DFS office to get an application, or download the Application for Assistance. Turn it in at your local office in person, by mail or by fax. A DFS worker will then call you to set up an interview by phone or in person.

Can my kids get free school meals?
Yes, if your family qualifies. Children can get free meals through programs like SNAP, or because they are homeless, runaway or in foster care. Ask your school or your district's homeless education liaison.

All done. You are ready, friend.
Bunkly tip: pantries have set days and hours, and Wyoming towns are far apart. Call first and ask what to bring so you don't make a trip for nothing.
