Mission Statement
The SNAP Consumer Community Service Coalition is an online listing of volunteer projects at non-profits throughout Southwestern PA that may be suitable for food stamp (SNAP) recipients who are required to find a service project in order to maintain their benefits. This is a project of Just Harvest. Just Harvest educates, empowers and mobilizes people to eliminate hunger, poverty, and economic injustice in our communities by influencing public policy, engaging in advocacy, and connecting people to public benefits.
Description
Effective March 2016, Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependents (ABAWDs) are required to complete service hours each month in order to maintain their food stamp (SNAP) benefits, unless they work 20 hours per week, have a short-term disability as verified by a doctor, reside in a high-unemployment municipality, or have another good cause waiver.
