Description
This program, administered by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS), aims to increase awareness and participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) among eligible but underserved North Carolinians. The initiative targets barriers such as stigma, misinformation, and lack of access, focusing outreach efforts on low-income populations, including the elderly, Hispanics, and the unemployed. Activities may include educational campaigns, bilingual outreach, application assistance, training, and collaboration with community partners to ensure eligible residents are informed about SNAP benefits and enrollment processes.
