FNS is committed to increasing access to SNAP, one of the most powerful tools available to ensure low-income people have access to healthy food. Program informational activities, or SNAP outreach activities, are a critical tool to ensure vulnerable populations are aware of the availability, eligibility requirements, application procedures, and benefits of SNAP.
We are looking for talented and dedicated people to join us in making FNS a safe, fair, diverse, and rewarding place to work. You can be assured that working at FNS is a place where every job matters and every employee counts!
