Our speaker on Tuesday represented SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). SNAP is a government program sponsored by the USDA. The purpose of the program is to assist those who are food insecure by providing enough funding for food 3 weeks out of the month. Program planning, monitoring, and evaluation is monitored by the government in the form of reports. Right now there is no nutrition professional in the program.
It was interesting to hear about the program from someone who works for them. I found it interesting that the program did not have nutrition professionals working for them. I think that it could be very beneficial to have nutrition professionals in the program--they could help people using the assistance make the best choices with what they have.
