My family of 8 soon to be 9 have been denied emergency assistance!! And have now been homeless going on 3 months …Due to not having receipts from Feb-June 2022 who keeps all of there receipts!!! A woman by the name of Adrienne Dixon denied my families application she showed no sympathy or compassion for my families situation and lied and told me she has all of her receipts for the last 2 years and told me to call the news !! I have heard many complaints about her from other state government offices such as dyfs!! If you are given her as a case worker I suggest you change your case worker ASAP !!! I have never given SS any reason to think I was a scammer nor is my family like others who take advantage of the system!! Adrienne Dixon denied my family emergency assistance in a blink of an eye !

Horrible! Me and my kids are hungry and I’m taking action! Applied for emergency stamps and was excited to get a call next day. I cutt off my benefits in another state trying to do the right thing! They sent my letter in 1 business day! I submitted all information and heard nothing back! Been calling for days and no response. Got a hold of a human today and she switched the line, that line went dead. Kept calling back and no answer! Even checked the site, Last update was the 31st of last month. Me and my children are hungry. No food left for us. It’s sad. It’s like they don’t care!

Not open to public. Forms available in lobby. Everything done by phone & internet but they don't call you back! I call everyday multiple times but they never return calls even with the scheduled call. Been without SNAP benefits for 2 months+ now!

The heavy set gentleman with the glasses gave me wrong information twice which lead to my case being put on hold. Then he lost some of my paperwork and now I have to pay foodstamps back! Stay away from him.

Hello Patricia. Call Catholic Charities to help you first. Salem County Social Services takes a lot longer to help with housing, but don't rule them out! Good luck 🍀
