These are the kinds of services SNaP provides for its members. A significant portion of these services are provided by a Volunteer network of your neighbors serving our community at no cost. The remainder are acquired from local Preferred Providers paid for by the requestor through pre-arranged agreements favorable to our members. Our Executive Director manages the implementation of these services.
