Benefits Access Specialist - Idaho

Hunger Free Idaho (HFI), a division of the national advocacy and direct service organization Hunger Free America (HFA), works to build a nonpartisan, grassroots movement to support the policies and programs needed to end hunger in Idaho and ensure that all Idahoans have reliable access to nutritious food.    One of our key strategies is to increase the number of Idahoans who benefit from federal food assistance programs for which they are eligible, such as  with SNAP, WIC, school breakfasts, thereby helping  people and families stretch their budgets and stay fed.    HFI is expanding its services through an Idaho based Benefits Access team that provides phone-based, in-person, and online support throughout the SNAP application process. By helping individuals and families access these benefits, we reduce financial strain and free up income for other basic needs.  Applicants must be willing to live in Idaho or move to Idaho, within commuting distance of the Magic Valley.
