Providing employment and training to thousands of SNAP clients

Nationwide, thousands of people who use Supplemental Nutrition and Assistance Program (SNAP) to increase their food budget as they move toward self-sufficiency also want to enter and succeed in the workforce. Through SNAP Employment & Training Programs – like those offered at employment social enterprises – they receive on-the-job training, work experience, and support to make that happen.

REDF connects the employment social enterprise sector with SNAP Employment & Training programs so that more SNAP clients across the country can access this vital support. In turn, enterprises tap into a sustainable public funding source to support their businesses.

Through tailored curriculum and one-to-one technical assistance delivered in partnership with Seattle Jobs Initiative, Center for Employment Opportunities, and FareStart, REDF is equipping hundreds of enterprises to become SNAP Employment & Training providers.
