Outreach & Community Education
The Coalition’s outreach work aims to connect individuals experiencing food insecurity with food resources, provide education and information for community members and partners, and increase awareness of food insecurity.
Educational Materials
We offer educational materials and resources guides about SNAP benefits, food pantries, and other community services.
Our Services
-
Trainings
We provide SNAP 101 trainings and interactive Hunger Simulations to increase awareness of food insecurity and the root causes of it, the impact food insecurity can have on all elements of one’s life, the tough decisions food insecure individuals have to face, and the many barriers that make food security a challenge. Presentations can vary in content and length based on the age of participants.
-
Community Events
You’ll find our team at many community events distributing educational materials and resources guides regarding SNAP benefits, food pantries, and community services. Our team is also available to discuss current SNAP policies and eligibility requirements at these events. Have an upcoming back-to-school night, health fair, or other community event? We’d be thrilled to participate and bring our resources on SNAP benefits and other food resources.
-
Referral Partnerships
We aim to make our services as accessible to our partners as possible. We understand that many barriers prevent people from contacting our SNAP Hotline and have formed several fruitful partnerships with community organizations to help connect people more directly with our team. If you serve a community that might benefit from more information about SNAP and the assistance of our SNAP Hotline counselors, we want to hear from you.
