Description and/or History:
Fort Greene SNAP is a community based organization serving the residents of Fort Greene and the surrounding communities. Our programs include:

Grandparent Caregivers Support Groups: Our Grandparent Caregivers Project held meetings and workshops at six public school sites where sixty grandparents participated. Our meetings are held twice a month at each site, with four events supported by the Broolyn Grandparents Coalition.

Infant Mortality Reduction Initiative - SNAP is working in coalition with the Brooklyn Task Force on Infant Mortality Reduction in an effort to battle these circumstances by providing outreach, case management, informational workshops and referrals to residents about parenting, health care and other crucial services.

We also provide programs that help with advocacy in Housing and Education, Workforce Development through our job board, resume assistance, financial literacy training and entrepreneurship.
