I have called every day and never can get through!!!! When I finally get through they hang up on me very frustrating!!!! What are these people getting paid for just to sit at the front desk and ignore our calls!!!! Sounds like to me need to hire more people that is willing to do a job that they get paid for…. Harrison County DHS by far the worst!!!!!

A month ago I went to apply for the food stamp (SNAP) but I have not received any news about it. I was waiting in line only for them to tell me to wait for them to call me and another two weeks have passed and they have not called me if I go again for su

Angelica Lopez | Oct 8, 2022

There are local food banks which provide meals for free like Feed my sheep M-F 12-1pm and then there are food pantries that provide free food staples like Gulf Coast Community Ministries Tues n Thurs 9am-12pm. Most churches have a program to help or people that will donate food to you until your food benefits start. Just google food banks or food pantries and pay attention to the specific days and times they are open and they may have a stipulation that you live nearby like if you live in gulfport look at gulfport ones not long beach or pass Christian unless they say anyone. Hope this helps.

Does anyone have the email address to snap benefits

Probably just your Id card and a social security card. They hardly ever answer the phone so you can either apply online or it's best to just go up there and apply in person.
