SNAP (food assistance) Toolkit and Retailer Locator

Community Partner Outreach Toolkit
This resource is intended to help community organizations conduct or improve existing SNAP outreach to those who are eligible but not participating in the program. This toolkit is full of great resources and how-to’s. In it, you will find the latest SNAP facts and figures, information on how to pitch and place news stories, how to develop culturally relevant materials, and the list goes on. In addition, there is a section of resources, or rather assets, which are available for your use. These resources include:
*Radio advertisements
*Public service announcements
*Radio novellas
*Hunger Champions video
*Photography


SNAP Retailer Locator can be used to find a retailer near you or your clients that welcomes SNAP EBT customers, click the "Select Location" button and enter a starting location. Click a map point to get details and directions. Click "En Espanol" above to view this page in Spanish.


Both of these tools can be used by OBB sites in a variety of ways to help raise awareness about the SNAP program and what retailers accept the EBT card. Both tools were organized through the United States Department of Agriculture.
