FOUR SNAP Outreach and E&T Reimbursement Information Sessions - April 23 thru 30th

FoodSNAP

The invitation below is from SNAP Coalition partner Lauren Arms Ledwith and her UMass colleagues, announcing four separate information sessions around Massachusetts starting April 23th through April 30th.  These sessions are designed for community groups to learn about the federal funds available to help with SNAP Outreach (application assistance) and SNAP employment and training (E&T) programs that serve SNAP recipients. 

Under federal SNAP policy, state and community-based groups engaged in SNAP outreach (e.g SNAP application assistance), or that provide certain employment and training activities, MAY be eligible to receive reimbursement (via USDA federal funds) for a portion of the costs your organization funds through private grants, or in some cases, with state or local government (or CDBG) funds. The upcoming UMass sessions are designed to walk you through the federal rules and allowable activities that may qualify your organization for USDA SNAP Outreach or SNAP E&T reimbursement.

Please contact Eve Dolkart at UMass directly if you wish to register. And THANKS to UMass for their continued work to improve SNAP Outreach and E&T funding in Massachusetts.
