Yes they will, Food stamps are a federaly funded program and even though they are issude by state they will work in any of them in the USA.

Here is what wikipedia says,

All states have systems that use magnetic stripe cards and "on-line" authorization of transactions. When paying for groceries, the food stamp customer's card is run through an electronic reader or a point of sale terminal (POS), and the recipient enters the secret PIN to access the food stamp account. Then, electronically, the processor verifies the PIN and the account balance, and sends an authorization or denial back to the retailer. The recipient's account is then debited for the amount of the purchase, and the retailer's account is credited. No money and no Food Stamps change hands. Payment is made to the retailer through a settlement process at the end of the business day. Moststates' online EBT systems are Interoperable through theQuestnetwork, which is sponsored by the Electronic Benefits and Services Council (formerly the EBT Council) of NACHA-The Electronic Payments Association.
