Massachusetts Network of Foster Care Alumni
MassNFCA volunteer Courtney will host a Q&A about Applying for SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) formerly food stamps.
A few years ago, Courtney served as an AmeriCorps VISTA for MassNFCA. Since then she has continued to volunteer and remains passionate about our mission. Now in her role as SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) Case Manager for DTA, she's stepping forward to host a Q&A on applying for SNAP (formerly food stamps) for current/former foster youth and ally members. Courtney will also be willing to answer questions about cash programs (EAEDC and TAFDC) if members have children or are disabled, as well as share some information about unemployment.
