Food Stamp Outreach
We are training volunteers to assist persons interested in applying for Food Stamps to help them understand the process they are about to enter, the benefits the program provides, eligibility guidelines, and requirements. These volunteers will also assist persons in completing Food Stamp applications, identifying supporting documentation, and getting their applications submitted to the correct office.
Outreach efforts will take place at a variety of sites around the metropolitan area, and the volunteer will be able to set a schedule fitting his or her availability. Evening and weekend hours will be available. This work is not for high school students or younger individuals. Bilingual skills are a plus but are not required.
Volunteers are also being sought to assist with special outreach efforts such as disseminating information, distributing flyers, making telephone calls, conducting interviews, and collecting information. Specialized training will be provided. High school age interested parties are welcome for this opportunity. Again, bilingual skills are a plus but are not required.
