In the first webinar of the series, Dory Thrasher, Senior SNAP Policy Analyst at FRAC, will discuss key topics related to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and grandfamilies and kinship families, including recent changes that may present challenges for families. She’ll provide tools and tips to help you connect kin caregivers to this essential nutrition program.
