Promising Practices
Promising practices are positive examples of
SNAP outreach. It could be anything. Promising Practices are
everywhere. If a particular outreach strategy has improved SNAP participation in your community, it is important to share the
success of your outreach strategy with others. By sharing outreach
strategies and materials, others can use that information to better
implement a project in their own community.
These promising practices have been collected from a variety of sources
across the country. They are offered to spur ideas, creativity and
enthusiasm for SNAP outreach. We will be adding to this list of
promising practices as more ideas are submitted and as information is
updated. Dates on which these strategies were used are noted where
possible.
To add
your promising practices to the list, send a description of the strategy
to Susan Sheets at
susan.sheets@fns.usda.gov

Excellent Service for
All, a newsletter published by FNS’ Mid-Atlantic Regional Office.
Or Connections, an Outreach newsletter
published by FNS' MidWest Regional Office.
The development of this compendium was
facilitated by the members of the SNAP Outreach Coalition
Committee on Promising Practices: Bill Ayres, World Hunger Year;
Melissa Daigle, FNS Western Regional Office; Larry Goolsby, American
Public Human Services Association; Katherine Gigliotti, National
Conference
of State Legislatures; Maria Lloyd, FNS Office of Communications and
Government Affairs; Ellen Vollinger, Food Research and Action Center;
John Wiggins, FNS Southeast Regional Office; and Susan Sheets,
SNAP, Committee Chair.
NOTE: Most of these promising practices were
neither written nor approved by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service
(FNS). FNS does not necessarily endorse the views these documents
express, nor the data they cite.
