⚠️ IMPORTANT SNAP / GOVERNMENT PROGRAM INFORMATION

Channels for Charity can track and document verified participation, but registration or participation does not automatically mean that your hours satisfy SNAP, FoodShare, ABAWD, FSET, workfare, or another government program requirement.

Government requirements are determined by the appropriate agency and may depend on your individual circumstances.

If you are participating because of a government benefits requirement, continue communicating with your caseworker or benefits agency and follow their instructions.
