Resources, Referrals, and Case Support

Our Hunger Program is about much more than just food. We provide additional items to support our clients health and well-being, such as COVID-tests, menstrual products, and more. Through partnerships with both public and private agencies, we provide on-site services and events like health screenings and referrals, tax filing assistance, and enrollment in key benefits and entitlements like SNAP (a.k.a. Food Stamps), Medicaid, reduced-fare transit passes, and legal aid. Last year we provided 500 client referrals, enrollments, and connections.

“I am very grateful…I receive help with things like housing and SNAP [Food Stamps], and you have also helped me with my appointments and talking to doctors when I’m sick.”
