SNAP helps ensure that women and LGBTQIA+ people can meet their basic needs and supports their well-being. But while SNAP plays a crucial role in alleviating food insufficiency for women and families, currently, there are barriers that prevent food-insecure women, especially those facing multiple forms of discrimination, from fully accessing and benefiting from SNAP. Learn more in FRAC’s updated 2024 research brief with the National Women's Law Center, Gender and Racial Justice in SNAP. https://lnkd.in/e7yTxNMd

Across the country, anti-hunger advocates are partnering with school districts to strengthen households' food security through SNAP outreach. By linking eligible families to SNAP benefits, schools combat food insecurity, while increasing students’ access to school breakfast, lunch, and Summer EBT. Connecting eligible students to SNAP streamlines meal application processes, reduces the administrative burdens of processing applications, and increases schools’ ability to implement the Community Eligibility Provision. On September 5, join a webinar with FRAC, Hunger Solutions New York, Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, and Hunger Free Oklahoma to learn the benefits and potential of SNAP outreach in schools. https://lnkd.in/e9FQQBmC
