In this episode, Joree speaks to Kam McKenzie, manager of SNAP outreach at the Freestore Foodbank, and Katie Gedeon, outreach manager at the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, about the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and their work in connecting clients to SNAP and other benefits. They discuss how their work has changed because of the pandemic and what they would change about SNAP enrollment to make it easier and better for clients.
