We know that many people have been getting letters from them and some rules are changing in 2026,  so you might want to stop by if you have an account  to make sure that everything is the way you want it to be. You can apply inside for food  or cash or medical insurance, drop off paperwork, complete a review, make changes to an existing case or request an EBT card. That date again: Wednesday, December 17^th. The DSHS van and mobile office, parked at the Food Bank between 10 in the morning till two in the afternoon.
