A representative from Toledo Area Ministries’ Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will be available to help clients fill out food assistance applications throughout April.
Three workers from the program operate a mobile unit that travels to food pantries and senior centers every month. Caseworker Glenna Berres estimates the unit helps about 100 people per month.
“We take the applications to the sites rather than have the people come Downtown,” Berres said. “There’s such a need out there and many of these people are the newly poor; they haven’t been through this before.”
