Volunteer Recruitment Resource
Secure regular, weekly volunteers by reading this important update from the IL Department of Human Services!
There is a major change for those who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits regarding work requirements for Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependents (ABAWDS). These clients are at risk of losing those SNAP benefits.
More than 500,000 adults are at-risk of losing their SNAP benefits! Many have already lost their assistance.
As of this year, to receive SNAP, clients must be engaged, for a
total of 80 hours monthly, in either - employment, jobs training, or volunteerism.
This is a GREAT
opportunity to find regular, weekly volunteers for your organization!
If you are interested in this opportunity, contact IDHS today. If the SNAP clients do not find volunteer opportunities (or jobs training), they could lose their benefits for the next 3 years.
