SNAP in Schools Promising Models for Expanding Access

Across the country, leveraging schools for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) access is a powerful strategy to connect families to nutrition supports through trusted, everyday settings. The examples in this report highlight how partners across the nation are implementing and expanding SNAP in Schools through different approaches, all grounded in a shared goal of making enrollment more accessible, coordinated, and effective. 

Rather than relying on traditional outreach alone, these models embed SNAP access directly into school systems and the broader networks that support students and families. Learn more about how SNAP enrollment strengthens school meal access, Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) participation, Summer EBT connections, and overall school funding in another No Kid Hungry resource, SNAP Benefits for Schools. 

A future version of this resource will highlight outcomes, lessons learned, and emerging results as projects conclude.
