The Florida Department of Children and Families offers food stamps to qualifying individuals that live in the state of Florida and are U.S. citizens or are qualified non-citizens.

The Florida food stamp program allows the purchase of food items only. Non-food items such as tobacco, alcohol, household cleaning products, paper products, soap, and personal hygiene products cannot be purchased using food stamps.
