For current SNAP households experiencing food loss as a result of Typhoon Mawar, the Department of Public Health and Social Services is launching a program to replace any food purchased through their SNAP EBT cards.

Public Health’s Christine San Nicolas, Human Services Program Administrator, emphasizes the program is geared towards present SNAP households—adding only food items lost during May 2023 qualifies replacement.

The assistance is contingent on the information presented in signed affidavits by SNAP family head-of-households submitted to Public Health by June 21, 2023.

  • Affidavit forms are available online at:https://dphss.guam.gov/division-of-public-welfare/ and at the following locations, Monday to Friday from 8 am to 5 pm, excluding Government of Guam holidays:

    Ran Care building in Tamuning
  • Northern Community Health Center in Dededo
  • Southern Community Health Center in Inalahan
  • Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) at the Guam Community College, Building E, Sesame Street, Mangilao

A digital copy of a signed affidavit may also be submitted through WhatsApp at (671) 727-2462 or (671) 727-1351

Or through email at [email protected] with the subject line being “Food Loss Affidavit."
