The URI SNAP Outreach Project helps low-income individuals and families access the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, SNAP. Outreach workers can answer questions about SNAP, help determine potential eligibility for SNAP benefits, and provide support with the application process. The SNAP Outreach Project seeks to increase participation with trainings, application assistance, providing informational material, and positive SNAP messages in mass media. Thousands of Rhode Islanders do not receive nutrition assistance because they are unaware of their eligibility or need additional assistance with applying. Outreach and education are tools in overcoming barriers to SNAP participation. If you or someone you know is struggling to pay for food, let them know help is available through the URI SNAP Outreach Project.
