Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program - SNAP Outreach

logo-snapSNAP provides low-income households with electronic benefits they can use like a debit card to purchase food at stores authorized by the United States Department of Agriculture. SNAP is the cornerstone of the Federal food assistance programs and provides crucial support to needy households and to those making the transition from welfare to work.

In 2010, to boost Nevada’s historically low participation rate in SNAP, Three Square launched our SNAP Outreach Program. Three Square SNAP Advocates work with eligible individuals to provide application assistance.

So far, Three Square’s SNAP Outreach Program has provided application assistance to more than 4400 individuals and has an approval rate of 80% among determined cases.

It has helped bring more than $3 million in new federal dollars to low-income Nevadans and helped stimulate the local economy by more than $5 million dollars.
