Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-ED)

The SNAP-Ed program provides nutrition and physical activity education and other valuable resources to youth and adults who receive or are eligible for SNAP benefits. SNAP-Ed’s goal is to help SNAP eligible individuals make nutritious food choices on a limited budget and choose a physically active lifestyle. Our SNAP-Ed team offers education lessons at community partners sites, YMCA after school programs, and Early Education Centers. Administered lessons focus on topics such as reading food labels, eating local, healthy substitutions, and increasing physical activity. Activities for SNAP-Ed include food preparation demonstrations, cooking classes, recipe cards, taste tests, and physical activity routines.
 

 
Please note, the YMCA of Greater Boston currently does not enroll participants into SNAP (formerly known as food stamps/EBT). If you have questions on SNAP benefits, contact the Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA) by calling the DTA Assistance Line (877) 382-2363 or visiting their website. You can also call the Project Bread’s FoodSource Hotline at 1-800-645-8333.
