Fulton County Charity Offering Government Benefits Screening

ROSWELL, GA — North Fulton Community Charities has recently started providing government benefits screening and application processing services at its offices in Roswell.

Offered in partnership with the Georgia Department of Family and Children Services, the program is open to any Georgia resident who is seeking assistance navigating the eligibility and application process for SNAP (food stamps), Medicaid and WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children) benefits.

“For many people who are struggling to pay their bills and put food on the table, programs like SNAP and Medicaid can have a significant impact on their financial and physical wellbeing,” Amy Goldstein, benefits screener, North Fulton Community Charities said in a news release. “Often the process of applying for benefits can be very complicated. Many, particularly seniors, may struggle with using the technology or may lack access to the technology needed. At NFCC, we will help them through every step of the process.”

Interested participants can make an appointment by contacting Amy Goldstein at 470-568-5701 or agoldstein@nfcchelp.org. Appointments take place at the NFCC Food Pantry at 11270 Elkins Rd. in Roswell. For more information on the program, visit this link.
