Pop-Up SNAP Education Event
Did you know that you may qualify for food stamps benefits as a college student? The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a government- funded program that provides food benefits to low-income families and individuals to supplement your grocery budget so that you can afford nutritious foods. As college students, many of us have a lower budget and may not be able to afford healthy foods each week, and SNAP can help!
Come learn about how you may be eligible to receive assistance buying healthy foods through the SNAP program! We will be set up in front of the Cafe on Monday, February 10th from 10:30-12:30. We will be answering questions about SNAP, helping you complete the application for benefits, and handing out lots of goodies! We hope to see you there!
