Over the past few months, there has been much discussion about Medicaid and SNAP (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). While most people have heard of these programs, many are not aware of their scope and the services that they provide – and how this safety net could be impacted by recent changes made at the federal level.
As a result, we’ve launched a series of FREE, virtual Lunch & Learn sessions to help people better understand things. We’ve already hosted three sessions, two about Medicaid/SNAP Changes, and an Education Special about Uncertainty in Schools Due to Federal Funding Changes. Videos of those sessions may be viewed here.
We have three sessions left and invite you to join us to learn more about these programs and hear from experts and advocates how recent federal changes are likely to impact access and create challenges for the people who rely upon the generational promises they represent. We will also talk about how to help people who qualify for these programs not fall through the cracks, as well as how to advocate for a strong, responsive system.
