This webinar will equip participants with a comprehensive understanding of the federal nutrition programs that help bridge this summer nutrition gap for families with children. Attendees will explore key resources, including congregate and rural non‑congregate summer meal programs, Maryland SUN Bucks, and year‑round supports such as SNAP and WIC.
The session will also highlight effective outreach strategies, approaches for reducing barriers to participation, and best practices for ensuring Maryland families can access the full range of nutrition assistance available throughout the summer months.
Thank you for your interest in learning more about SNAP! MD Hunger Solutions holds regular virtual trainings: SNAP 101 and SNAP 102.
SNAP 101: Introduction to SNAP, covers basic information on the SNAP program. This training will provide knowledge on eligibility requirements for certain populations, where SNAP recipients can use their benefits, and recent data and trends in SNAP participation. SNAP 101 is open to any and all individuals seeking more information on the program.
SNAP 102: Application Assistance on Maryland Benefits, explores the Maryland Benefits website and how to submit SNAP applications online. This training should only be attended by those that have completed SNAP 101.
Additionally, MD Hunger Solutions provides SNAP 103: Food Resource Triage, a training specifically for incoming MD Hunger Solutions volunteers. This training goes over how to navigate our internal outreach processes, make appointments with application assistance staff, make referrals to other organizations, and how to find accurate information on local resources for callers throughout Maryland. If you are not seeking to volunteer with MD Hunger Solutions, you do not need to attend SNAP 103.
