SNAP benefits Referral program

Campus Kitchen partners with Second Harvest Heartland to run a SNAP Benefits referral program. Students can fill out this quick survey to find out if they are likely to be eligible for SNAP benefits (funds for groceries from the government, formerly known as “Food Stamps”). If the survey indicates that a student is likely eligible, Campus Kitchen confidentially passes along their name and contact info to SNAP application specialists at Second Harvest Heartland.

Campus Kitchen also offers 1-to-1 SNAP application sessions, where students can meet with one of our trained staff to get help filling out the application or ask any questions they may have about the program and application process. Feel free to book a session here!

To learn more, fill out this quick survey and check out our Augsburg-specific SNAP FAQ.
