SNAP Outreach Coordinator, The Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri
Melanie Hickcox and Bree Broadus work together here in Mid-Missouri. Melanie is the SNAP Project Manager for Feeding Missouri and Bree is the SNAP Outreach Coordinator for The Food Bank for Central & Northeast Missouri.
They both work to provide access to SNAP benefits, otherwise known as food stamps to inmates getting ready to reenter society – even helping people with paperwork and applications before they’re released.
They spoke about why food stamp access is so important – especially among this vulnerable population.
