Volunteer Hours for Medicaid & SNAP Work Requirements
The Community Foundation is committed to supporting Medicaid and SNAP participants affected by federal work requirements in maintaining their benefits. Medicaid and SNAP participants who must meet this work requirement can use volunteering as one way to do so. Through our volunteer center, CFengage, individuals can easily find volunteer opportunities with eligible nonprofit organizations and track their completed hours.
