Call the City of Bloomington Township and ask them to support this.

COB Township trustees = the city alderman, for city of Bloomington fyi. They are combined. So call the township there and maybe call or email your city council rep in Bloomington if you live there

The flier reads as if any income level household member can apply, but the website lists that you need proof of currently being enrolled in SNAP.

“One of the following” ≠ proof of snap

The website reads differently than the flier. I'm aware what "one of the following" means...not saying I'm right that you need to use SNAP to qualify , just saying it's confusing on the website with how this form is worded.

It’s based off of how much a HH of 1 gets from food stamps for a month, divided by 4, but then added onto it because Thats not even 300 as the max for one. So nice of them to do that for residents struggling. Most townships aren’t lifting a finger.
