All meal delivery services, and communal dining facilities desiring to prepare and serve (or deliver) meals to eligible households must be approved by FNS to accept supplemental nutrition assistance benefits.

These restaurants must also be approved by FNS to accept SNAP benefits. Restaurants that intend to accept SNAP benefits from all groups of households (elderly, SSI and the homeless) must either submit a separate contract pertaining only to the homeless or must submit one contract that clearly identifies each group to be served. Restaurants interested in contracting with the Arkansas Department of Human Services to furnish meals to specified SNAP benefit recipients should contact the Central Office, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Section, (501) 682-8284.
