To address the growing need for food assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Minnesota Department of Human Services is re-launching the Nutritious Food Coalition, and changing its name to the SNAP Coalition. The SNAP Coalition seeks to increase awareness and participation in SNAP through coordinated outreach efforts. Those encouraged to participate include community-based organizations; state, county and local governments; tribal nations; business associations; advocacy networks; and others to make up a broad mix of partners.
Learn more by viewing SNAP Coalition: Coming together to fight food insecurity (PDF). If interested in participating in the meetings, subscribe below to receive SNAP Coalition News and Updates.
The mission of the Food Security Work Group is to ensure all Minnesotans have access to stable food supplies during the COVID-19 pandemic, and that Minnesotans do not need to put themselves in harm’s way to access that food.
For more information about the Food Security Work Group, subscribe to its newsletter, which contains invites to the meetings and recaps of the meetings. The newsletter also contains resources for people at food shelves and food banks, tribal nations, private nonprofit organizations, and affiliated organizations who work to address hunger in Minnesota.
