Hurricane Milton Update No. 88

Hillsborough County, Fla. (Dec. 2, 2024) – Residents financially impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton in Hillsborough County can go to Raymond James Stadium on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday to apply for the Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP).

Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP) provides food assistance for Florida residents impacted by Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton who are not receiving food assistance through the regular Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).  The program is a partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Florida Department of Children and Families.

The hours at Raymond James Stadium, 4201 N. Dale Mabry Hwy., Tampa, FL 33607, are 7 a.m.-5 p.m., Dec. 3-5.

Hillsborough residents who pre-registered online but did not have a chance to complete their D-SNAP phone interview can visit the D-SNAP location for their county for an in-person interview. In-person interviews are not required if a phone interview was completed. 

The Department of Children and Families will reopen pre-registration for individuals in Hillsborough County who did not previously pre-register online. Residents are encouraged to pre-register online before going to Raymond James Stadium to complete their interview. Online pre-registration will open on the first day of each event and close on the last day. Individuals can pre-register at www.myflfamilies.com/DSNAP.

Important information about in-person D-SNAP events:

  • Current SNAP recipients are not eligible for D-SNAP and should not attend the on-site D-SNAP location. 
  • Applicants who were approved during a telephone interview for D-SNAP will receive their EBT card by mail and should not attend the on-site D-SNAP location. 
  • Florida residents should only attend the D-SNAP event for their county. Individuals who reside in a different county will not be served at that location.

The Department of Children and Families will open D-SNAP locations in the counties that have been approved for D-SNAP. On-site locations and dates for counties will be announced as they open. To view the D-SNAP schedule by county and details on how to apply, visit www.myflfamilies.com/DSNAP.
