About the Coalition

There are numerous food banks, community and faith-based groups, and other organizations nationwide who educate low-income people about food stamp benefits. FNS formed the FSOC in 2003 to provide a forum to link and share information about these efforts.

The FSOC consists of:

The members of the FSOC are national groups interested in promoting the health and nutrition benefits of the Food Stamp Program. These organizations work to end hunger and improve nutrition at the national level and provide support to local outreach projects

Meetings of the FSOC occur approximately twice per year, usually in the Washington, DC area. Minutes are available for all meetings.

For more information about the FSOC or to join the members, please send an email to fsoc@fns.usda.gov.
