The SNAP Benefits Outreach and Enrollment Collaborative. Participants include representatives from organizations such as Maryland Hunger Solutions, Manna Food Center, Catholic Charities, and others that work directly on SNAP outreach and enrollment, as well as the Montgomery County Office of Eligibility and Support Services.  This Workgroup meets each month to share updates on their work as well as challenges that case managers are facing in the field.

Topics covered include: 

  • Outreach strategies, to increase enrollment in SNAP and federal nutrition programs
  • Challenges related to enrollment, such as internet access, people experiencing homelessness, and language barriers—and strategies to work on overcoming these challenges
  • Updates to federal policy that impact local implementation of outreach related to SNAP, WIC, etc.
  • Best practices for outreach, communications, and customer service related to nutrition benefits
  • Other topics, as identified by Working Group members
Please contact Allison@mocofoodcouncil.org to join this group or for more information.
