Young adults in need may be eligible for Washington’s Basic Food Program

-- By Mandy Urwiler

All youth should know that they can have food... No matter what. If you don't know where your next meal will come from, apply for basic food. It's not welfare, it's just up to $200 that can only be used on food items so you can stay healthy and well fed. You will get a card similar to a debit card, called an EBT card that can be used at most grocery stores. Your eligibility for the Basic Food program is based on your income rather than anything else.
