- Collaborate with the D.C. EITC Campaign during tax season to coordinate SNAP outreach efforts, including volunteer training and application assistance.
- Evaluate policies and practices that impact SNAP participation.
- Oversee data collection and reporting related to SNAP outreach efforts and participation rates.
- Support initiatives aimed at addressing hunger among vulnerable populations, increasing access to federal nutrition programs.
- Manage the SNAP outreach hotline, providing direct assistance to clients.
- Foster partnerships with government agencies, community organizations, and stakeholders to promote food security.
- Engage with the public and policymakers to raise awareness about hunger issues and advocate for solutions.
