SNAP Outreach

River Bend Foodbank is traveling to its various food pantries with laptop in hand to help the pantry recipients who qualify to sign up for food stamps. Many who qualify for food stamps do not receive them because of obstacles such as misinformation or being intimidated by the initial form. With this program, River Bend works on-site at the pantries, and before the client leaves, we’ll have the application already sent in to DHS! Applicants in Rock Island, Henry and Mercer counties will be able to follow up on their status at Project NOW Community Action Agency. Project NOW also provides Food Stamp Outreach on a walk in basis. For more information on SNAP Outreach, please contact Diane Erickson, 309-764-7434 ext 3 or email derickson4201@gmail.com.
